Ingredients

  • 1 lb. dried small red beans

  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the beef, onions and garlic, stirring, until the meat has browned. Drain off any accumulated fat. Transfer to the insert. Add the tomatoes, corn, barbecue sauce, cilantro, chili powder and cumin. Stir in the broth.
