"PREP: 15 MINUTES; COOK: 6 HRS., 30 MINUTES This recipe is fast and easy--your family will love it. I found it in SOUTHERN LIVING. You can probably substitute your favorite beans as well at the tomatoes. Green chilies are not manditory but it certainly adds a touch of spice. It's a very nice one-dish meal."

This was very good!! It was a nice change from traditional pot roast. I made the recipe as written except when I added the beans to the crockpot, I also added 1/2 tsp. cumin and 1 tsp. granulated sugar. I didn't add the jalapenos because, unlike myself who loves very spicy food, my family doesn't like their food too spicy. Thanks for a great recipe.
