This recipe is easy to throw together and goes over great at potlucks. Doubling the recipe makes the perfect amount to fit in my 5-quart slow cooker. Turn up the heat by using hot salsa and jalapenos. Serve with tortilla chips.

This brings back memories. We used to make this on Christmas Eve when my boys were just little ones. Everyone loved it. Haven't made it in probably 40 years. I'll have to try it again on our next get together. Read More

Made exactly as written and this turned out great! I was tempted to not soften the onions before adding to the slow cooker but I'm sure glad I did. The caramelized onions added another depth of flavor. Can't wait to eat the leftovers during the football game tonight! Read More
