Also known as, “I made a big batch of bread that came out funny.  Now what shall I do?”  The answer, of course, is make a sweet & spicy stew with bread as thickener.

• about half a loaf of brown bread
• 2 onions
• 4 cloves garlic
• 3 cups black beans
• 2 sweet potatoes
• probably about a quart of chicken stock
• brown sugar, paprika, chili powder, and salt & pepper to taste

As usual with these crock-pot recipes, it’s dead easy.  Soak the beans in water overnight, throw in the pot.  Chop the onions, peel the garlic, peel & chop the sweet potato, throw in the pot.  Crumble bread & throw in the pot.  Throw everything else in the pot.  Add not quite enough chicken stock to cover everything.  Let it rip!

Result: success.
