I have not had a lot of practice with the crock pot, and like most of my crock pot recipes, this came out quite watery. Also, I had to reduce the chili powder and black pepper considerably, otherwise I felt it would have been too hot (I included all the cumin, jalapeno and garlic). I also included veggie crumbles. No changes other than some of the spices. Although my BF and I both liked the outcome quite a bit, I felt the recipe needed just a little more "zing." Maybe some lemon juice would have done it. Thank you! Made for the Craze-E crock pot contest:D
