1 lb. dried beans (kidney, pinto, or combo)
1 lb. ground meat (chicken, beef, lamb, turkey or combo)
1 med. onion, chopped
1/2 c. molasses
16 oz. tomato paste
1 tbsp. basil
2 tbsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. thyme
1/2 tsp. marjoram
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp. black pepper
2 lg. Reese's peanut butter cups

Soak beans in water overnight or as package directs. Rinse beans, place in crockpot with onion, meat and molasses. Cover with water. Cook over low heat 3 hours, add tomato paste and spices. Simmer until beans are tender, add peanut butter cups, stir and serve.

NOTE:

I shred the ground meats while precooking add or subtract cayenne pepper for desired "heat". Also I have used the "15 bean soup" beans in the above with equally satisfying results.
