Thi good and easy to make. I didn't put this in the crockpot, I just cooked it on the stove. I don't things real spicy so I did change up some things. I used two 14 ounce cans of petite diced tomatoes instead of salsa and I only used a tablespoon and a half of chili powder. I followed the rest of the recipe as written. As I made it was still a bit spicey for me. I took this for lunches and it was even better heated up

Love the flavor, the speed of preparation, the easiness, the texture...loved everything but the saltiness. And I can't really think of anyway to lower that. I will make this again, but will keep trying to find a way to make it less salty tasting! Thanks!
