--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  3       c            Dried beans, half pinto,
                       -half black
  1       cn           S&W salsa
  6                    Cloves garlic
    1/3   c            Chili powder
  1       tb           Cumin
  1 1/2   lb           Ground beef (chili grind, o
    1/4                " cubes)
    1/4   ts           Oregano
  3                    Chipotle peppers
  1       lg           Onion

 Soak the beans overnight.  Brown the ground beef, and drain off the fat.
 If the chipotles are dried, soak them for 5 minutes in hot water, then
 pulverize them with the onion and garlic in a blender.  Add onion,
 oregano, chili powder, cumin, beef, garlic, and beans to crock pot, with
 "enough" water.  Let simmer for about 12 hours.  About an hour before
 it's done, add the can of salsa.

 The "chili powder" is bulk powdered "chili powder" chilies, New Mexico
 chilies, not the mixture with all kinds of other spices in it.
