Black Bean, Sausage, and Sweet Potato Soup

5 1/2 cups water
1 1/2 cups dry black beans
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
2 cups chicken broth
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon water
1/4 pound Italian sausage, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 pound sweet potatoes
3 green onions
salt and pepper to taste

1. In a 4 quart saucepan, combine beans, garlic, bay leaf, allspice, broth and 5 1/2 cups water. Cook, partially covered, until beans are tender, about 50 minutes. Discard bay leaf.
2. In a blender puree 1 cup cooked beans with 1 cup cooking liquid, and return to pan.
3. In a small bowl, stir together tomato paste and 1 tablespoon water; stir into beans with sausage and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer soup, covered, for 15 minutes. Soup may be prepared up to this point 3 days ahead.
4. While soup is simmering, peel sweet potatoes and cut into 1/2 inch pieces. Steam until tender, about 10 minutes. Stir potatoes, 3 chopped scallions, and salt and pepper to taste into soup. Serve soup garnished with scallion greens.

Spice-Rubbed, Slow-Cooked Beef Roast (works great for pork and venison, too)

(This recipe works great for pork and venison, too.)
1 T. black pepper
1 T. paprika
2 t. chili powder
1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. cayenne pepper
1/2 t. garlic powder or 2 cloves minced garlic
1/4 t. mustard powder
1/2 - 1 c. beef broth or water

Rub meat with mixture, cook in slow cooker on LOW for 6-8 hours. 

Slow Cooker Mustard Pork

3-4 thick-cut slices of pork loin
1/2 c.+ spicy brown mustard
1 yellow (or white) onion
3 carrots, peeled and cut in large chunks
1 Tbsp. cider vinegar or apple juice (not necessary but adds a great zing)
black pepper to taste

Throw everything in your slow cooker.  Toss.  Cook on LOW for 6 hours.  Keep on warm setting until dinnertime if needed.

I served this with baked potatoes and broccoli.  You could easily throw cubed potatoes in the cooker too, but be sure they are underneath the other ingredients so they cook well.
