Instructions: In a crock pot or heavy pot on the stove, combine chopped veggies, crushed garlic, undrained tomatoes and corn and drained beans. Simmer on the stove for 3-4 hours or in the crock pot 4-5 hours on high, 8-10 hours on low. (Hint: turns out thicker on the stove).

We will also vary things by substituting different varieties of beans. I find the red kidney bland. try Vermont cranberry, coco rubico, Vermont appaloosa, calypso and several other varieties to add different color and flavor to casserole.
