Variations & Tips
For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a diced jalapeño. You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option. For a vegetarian twist, omit the meat and add more mushrooms or a can of drained chickpeas. If you prefer a creamier texture, stir in a dollop of sour cream just before serving. And for an extra layer of flavor, try adding a splash of red wine to the slow cooker.
