This dish was so delish. I put everything in the crock pot in the morning, and I could smell the wonderfulness wafting from my home even before I opened the front door. Positive reviews from everyone! Feel free to substitute anything for the seitan - tofu, tempeh, portabello mushrooms or even mock chicken.
1/2 recipe Cheater Seitan
1 12oz can corn
1 medium onion, chopped
1 cup salsa of your choice - the chunkier the better
1 12oz can tomato sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups black beans
Real salt to taste
Put all ingredients in a crock pot. Cook on low for at least 4 hours, but I cooked mine for 9 and it worked out fine. If possible, stir from time to time to ensure the dish doesn't burn.
Serve over brown rice, barley or whole wheat pasta. If desired, garnish with non-dairy sour cream and non-dairy cheese.

Bean & Barley Weight Loss Soup
I call this "weight loss soup" because it's relatively low in calories, very low in fat, and high in both protein and fiber. It uses a few more processed ingredients than I usually like (canned corn, green beans, etc.) so feel free to substitute fresh or frozen if you have them. This is especially good for combatting the Christmas Hangover - you know, the time when in three days you eat more cookies and fudge than any person should eat over the course of a lifetime.
1 1/2 c. black beans
1 can (12 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 can (12 oz) white or yellow corn, drained
1 can (12 oz) green beans, drained
1 c. cooked barley (not pearled)
1/2 onion, diced
2 c. veggie broth
1 large or 2 small bay leaves
Basil, granulated garlic (or fresh garlic), and Real Salt to taste
2 T. nutritional yeast
Combine all ingredients except basil, garlic, salt and nutritional yeast in a large pot. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. Add basil, garlic, and salt to taste. Continue simmering for 15 minutes to allow flavors to blend.
Add nutritional yeast, stir well, and let stand for 5 minutes. Remove bay leaves.
Makes 4, 1 1/2 cup servings or 6, 1 cup servings.
