This was so bland, I don't understand why people are raving about it. After four hours I tasted it and poured in half a bottle of beer. It didn't make it much better but at least now I didn't care so much.

The flavor was good on a cool rainy day but I gave it 3 stars because the nutritional data seems so far off.

We used mango lime salsa Hot Mexican-style Chili Powder. Also added a can of green chilis. So easy and so good! I assembled it in less than 15 minutes before I left for work and came home to a wonderful aroma and great meal. Served with Chipotle Copycat Cilantro/Lime rice.

I made this for a family gathering and it was a huge hit! I actually cooked in my big pot on the stove and then transferred it to the crock pot when we left the house. I added more chicken broth and some roasted green chili's to it. Will be one of my favorites!

OK this recipe is ridiculously good. The kind of slow cook that you have to "taste check" every 10 mins or so. Great base for other things...tonight I'm putting it on rice.

I'm writing a "Pre-Review" because I changed things up a bit due to on hand ingredients and review suggestions I warped into my own version. I will edit this after dinner tonight :) I had a 15oz Peppercorn Tenderloin so I scaled the recipe to 5 servings (but it looks more like 6-7 to me)and cubed the meat into small pieces. I used 3/4 of a red onion, 3/4 of a yellow bell pepper, 1 can of black beans, 4 small chicken bullion cubes, 2 cups plus one can (bean can) of water, 1 1/2 cups medium salsa, 1/2 cup salsa verde, 1/2 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp oregano, and 1 1/4 tsp chili powder. I am cooking this on high for 4 hours and will transfer to stove-top if not done at that time. With fewer ingredients and higher temps I don't foresee a problem as this has worked for me with many slow cooker recipes over the years. Looking forward to updating tonight!

Wow! Tasty, easy, versatile, and diabetic friendly. What else can you ask for? This has to be the most successful crock pot recipe I have ever seen. It's not only ridiculously easy to make, it's ridiculously delicious! I made it as written with the single variance of adding a small can of green chilies. There are so many ways you can riff on this basic recipe, you can make it once a month for a year and never repeat the same meal. Inwouldngive it more stars if I could.

Just started a pot of this wonderful and versatile chili in my slow cooker! I like to start with the recipe as written and tweak the spices as it cooks. This is my favorite "leftover lunch"! Everyone in the break room takes notice when I reheat it in the microwave! I like to add Greek yogurt or ff sour cream to mine.
