    1                    Kidney Beans, Canned -- drained, *
    8      Oz            Tomato Sauce -- salt free or reg
    1      lb            Tomatoes -- canned --  chopped,
                         -- drained, reserve liq
    1 1/2  C             Corn -- canned or frozen
                         -- drained
    1      tsp           Dried Oregano
    1      tsp           Dried Basil
      1/2  tsp           Garlic Powder
                         Salt And Pepper -- to taste
 
 * or any other beans, drained (This will yield 10 oz of beans)
 Combine all ingredients in a crockpot. Add water to reserved tomato liquid 
  to equal 2 1/2 C.  Stir into grain mixture.  Cover and cook on low 
 setting  8 hrs.  Stir before serving.
 I just put all the dry ingredients in the crockpot the night before, in  
 the morning all the wet ingredients and turn the crockpot on.  By the time 
  dinner rolls around it is ready.
 This serves 8 as a side dish and 4 - 6 as a filling main course.
 You can use any combination of grains. Just use about 1 cupful altogether- 
  although I have used more then 1 cupful.
