Favorite autumn recipe

Here, on the eve of the election, I thought I would share my favorite Autumn recipe, Election Lunch.


Election Lunch

1 lg. onion, chopped
1 lb. smoked sausage, sliced and halved
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 ½ tsp dry mustard
¼ c honey
1 (10 oz) can mild Rotels (or, if you prefer no spice, just plain diced tomotoes)
1 (1 lb) can lima beans, drained
1 (1 lb.) can light red kidney beans, undrained
1 (1 lb) can garbanzo beans, undrained

1. Brown onion and sausage. Drain well.
2. Combine ingredients in large slow cooker, and stir to combine.
3. Cover and cook on low for 2-4 hours.

NOTE: I usually double this recipe because I have a very large crockpot. If you choose to double it, reserve the juice from the kidney beans and garbanzo beans, then add as much of it into your soup as your crockpot will allow.

Serve with cornbread, crackers or fresh homemade bread, and ENJOY!

And two appropriate "quotes" to accompany this post:

Oh this lovely season: "Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower." Camus

On the greatest Kingdom: "For what great nation is there that has a god so near to it as the LORD our God is to us, whenever we call upon him? And what great nation is there that has statues and rules so righteous as all this law that I set before you today?" -- Deut. 4:7-8
