Step 1

In a large skillet, saute the onion, green pepper and garlic in oil until tender. Transfer to a greased 5 quart slow cooker.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt. Combine the eggs, milk corn and oil; add to dry ingredients and mix well. Spoon evenly over bean mixture.
