I love the slow cooker, but I'm leery about chicken recipes because they turn out dry. That was NOT the case with this recipe; it was wonderful! I wasn't sure if I should drain the black beans or not, so I did (after rinsing). Followed the recipe exactly using a double batch of Bill Echols Taco Seasoning. The chili beans were spicy, and gave it a nice bit of heat. Topped with cheddar cheese, a little sour cream, cilantro and served with scoop tortilla chips. Fabulous! Makes plenty for a crowd. Thanks for sharing!

What a hit! Took them to a Halloween party and they were the only appetizer completely gone! I used two packages of smokies and cut the pound of bacon in fourths. Not quite enough bacon for all, but there were only about 8 or 10 smokies without it. I put the brown sugar in a bag and coated the smokies before wrapping and also sprinkled it on top as written. I did not use toothpicks, they were fine without them because the sugar and bacon melted together to keep it in place. So good, thanks for sharing!

This was good! I used bacon bits because I had them on hand which made it a much quicker dish. The flavors go well together. Fast and easy, thanks!
