Excellent recipe! I haven't used my slow cooker for quite awhile and this recipe was great. Nice and healthy, too. I did add some salt because it tasted like it was missing it.

I added a little chili powder and some black pepper to add a little extra flavor. We'll definitely add this to our list of keepers.

Very good! I added a little bit of cayenne pepper to give it more of a kick.
