Zesty Beef Medley

This is a yummy crock pot recipe that has had a great deal of success :) Although it's meant for tacos or tortillas, the meat mixture has more of a chili taste. (I could eat it all day!)

Ingredients

• 2-3 lbs lean ground beef (like 93% fat free beef - I haven't tried it with venison)
• 2 medium onions, finely chopped
• 2 medium green sweet peppers, chopped
• 2 16-oz jars medium or hot salsa
• 2 15 to16-oz cans black beans, rinsed and drained
• 12 taco shells or 2 packages of tortillas (like Mission brand "carb balance" variety)
• 1/2 cup sliced scallions
• 1 small tomato, chopped
• shredded Mexican blend cheese
• chopped iceberg lettuce
• light sour cream

Directions

1. In an extra-large skillet, cook ground beef until brown. Drain off fat. Place beef in 5 or 6-quart slow cooker. Stir in onions, sweet peppers, salsa and black beans.
2. Cover; cook on low-heat setting for 6 to 8 hours or on high-heat setting for 3 to 3-1/2 hours.
3. Spoon beef mixture into taco shells or tortillas. Sprinkle with scallions, chopped tomato, cheese, lettuce, sour cream or any other favorite taco toppings. Eat it!
