What a wonderful recipe! Such an easy dish to pull together. The results are flavorful; the meat is tender; and the beans go great with rice (and the leftover pot likker). My family also enjoyed this spooned into taco shells and ladled the leftovers over Frito's Corn Chips. Thanks so much for sharing. I'll definitely make this again. Long live the Crock Pot!
