Notes

The slow cooker will be very full when you add all of the ingredients. Be careful when you stir!
Use a large or extra large slow cooker slow cooker to make this recipe.
As is, this casserole is mild. If you want it spicy, you can kick it up with fiesta nacho cheese soup or a zestier blend of the diced tomatoes with green chiles. You could also stir in a can of diced jalapenos.
