It's been a while since I did a slow cooker meal, and every time I make one I ask myself why I don't do it more often. It takes some prep, but it pays off later when you have nothing to do but portion out a delicious meal.
This one was excellent. I think I'd put a little less cocoa in next time. It was pretty spicy, so if you're heat adverse, use just 1 chile.
