2 tablespoons canola oil
1 can (16 ounces) kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (15 ounces) white kidney or cannellini beans, rinsed and drained

1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Sprinkle beef with chili powder. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown beef and onion in oil.
Meanwhile, in a 5-qt. slow cooker coated with cooking spray, combine the beans, tomatoes, broth, tomato paste, jalapenos, brown sugar, garlic, salt, pepper and cumin. Stir in the beef, onion and drippings.
