We absolutely love this dish, instead of ground beef, I use ground turkey, you don't even notice! I tell everyone about this recipe, it is wonderful

We have made this recipe several times and it is a keeper! Finally looked it up and put it in my recipe box. I am trying to mix everything up the day before and just put the slow cooker in the morning before work. Great hearty meal for my husband who works construction and our daughter who loves beans!

My husband and I both love this recipe. I used frozen corn instead of canned and changed the black beans for pinto beans and it turned out great. This is now on rotation for favorite recipes. Can't wait to see how the grandkids like it.
