"This recipe was adapted from a small crock pot cook book I picked up at a garage sale a couple of years ago. It is so easy and so good. It isn't very authentic - but I still enjoy it. Just 5 ingredients. Add to the crock pot in the morning and 6-8 hours later, dinner is served. Of course serve with your favorite toppings; tortillas, salsa, cheese, avocado, sour cream etc. I prefer avocado, monterey jack cheese, and salsa with mine."
