Rocky Mountain Crockpot is a wonderful cozy meal. There are many variations of this dish and is often made as a casserole. I like to throw it all in the crockpot and have the magic of dinner appearing in the evening. Nothing better.
I always use Turkey sausage – specifically Italian Sweet sausage. Use whatever kind you like, just be sure and drain off any oil.
Brown the sausage and throw it in the crockpot. Add the onions, green pepper and potatoes.
Add the black beans, corn and Rotel tomatoes and mix it all together.
Add the spices and stir.
Cover and let it cook.
Salt and pepper to taste and to with grated cheese. Cover and let it melt!
Dish it up and top with sour cream and cilantro.
YUM!
