Notes
To tone down the spiciness of this, you can omit the jalapeno and use a mild chili powder. You can also use a mild variety of the Rotel.
If you want to make this in the crockpot, brown the meat and veggies, add your spices then transfer to the crockpot and add everything else in. Cook on high for 2-3 hours or low for 4-5.
