Low Sodium Slow Cooker Steak and Black Bean Chili

I'm sorry for not having a picture of this delicious low sodium version of steak and black bean chili. It was consumed before I had a chance to take a pic. I will update this post with a picture when I make this again.

Ingredients: 

• 2 lb beef top round steak (I used a New York Strip Steak)

• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1/8 tsp ground black pepper
• 1/8 tsp paprika
• 3 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 lb dried black beans, reconstituted (prepared to package directions) 
• 1 can (28 oz) no salt added diced tomatoes, undrained
• 2 cans (8 oz) no salt added tomato sauce
• 1 can (4.5 oz) chopped green chiles, undrained
• 16 oz frozen corn
• 1 sweet onion, diced

Directions:

1. Prepare dried black beans to package directions.
2. Cut steak into 1 inch cubes, trimming off excess fat.
3. Mix all ingredients in crock pot.
4. Cook on low for 8 to 10 hrs.
5. Top with cheese and/our cream as desired.
