I love this recipe and I make it all the time. I was wondering if it would come out the same if I cooked it in a crock pot?

excellent - spice it up or spice it down ... the lime juice is a must

Pretty easy. Made to directions except added another can of beans, a bit too tomato-y for us.

Just made this last night with lean ground turkey breast. It was delicious!! My husband was very sceptical because it was with turkey breast, but he absolutely loved it. Definitely a keeper!

Awesome!!!!!! I tweaked it a little with extra spices, like crushed red pepper and instead of poblano(only since I could not find them) I used long hot peppers. Also, added a couple cloves of garlic. Definately will make again.

fairly quick to make. changes: used 2 red bell peppers, olive oil and a pasilla pepper. great zesty flavor. all of us loved it. served it with grated cheddar, chopped cilantro and fresh limes squeezed on top. we are not ground turkey fans and couldn't even tell that it was turkey. we are trying to eat less beef. this recipe was great! will definitely make again. loved having some leftovers, too.
