16 Bean Soup

Trying a new recipe in the crockpot today...I'll let you know how it goes.

**Edit** Can we say yuck? I'm not even going to post this nasty recipe.

Oven Roasted Potatoes

* 2 lbs potatoes, peeled and cut into bite-sized cubes
* 1 sweet onion, diced
* 1/4 cup canola oil
* 1 teaspoon paprika
* 1 (1 ounce) envelope ranch dressing mix
* 1/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
* 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, shredded (not from the shaker)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 450°F.
2. In a gallon zip-top storage bag, combine potatoes, onion, and oil.
3. Toss to coat vegetables with oil.
4. Add paprika and ranch dressing mix, toss again until coated with seasonings.
5. Bake in an ungreased baking pan 30-35 minutes until potatoes are browned, or cook longer for crispier potatoes.
6. Remove from oven and top with cheeses, return to oven for 2-3 minutes to let cheese melt.
7. Remove from oven and serve.

Spanish Rice

2 lbs. ground turkey (beef, whatever), browned
2 medium onions, chopped
2 green peppers, chopped (We don't like them so I don't use them)
28 oz. can diced tomatoes
8 oz. can tomato sauce
1 1/2 cups chicken stock
2 1/2 tsp, chili powder
2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 cups rice, uncooked

Combine all ingredients in slow cooker. Cook on low 8-10 hours or high for 6 hours.
