Make this.
It's delicious.
Easy too because Mrs. Potts does all the work for you.
What more encouragement do you need? 😉

Sorry if I'm overlooking this, but about how many servings/cups does this make? Can't wait to make for a football party!
I would say 6-8 servings Alana – hope that helps!
I make a variation of this that I got from one of the ladies at our church with 6 cans of white beans (drained and rinsed) , 2 large cans of chicken breast (drained), 2 jars salsa (i mild, 1-medium) and 1# cubed monterey jack cheese…mix it all together and cook for 3-1/2 – 4 hours on high….yummy and quick!
Sounds delicious Diane – thanks for sharing!
I want to make this but use shredded rotiserie chicken that i already cooked up in the crock pot yesterday. Can I do that? And when should I add tbe chicken since its already cooked?
I think you can do that without any problem Jessica! I would probably leave the chicken out until the last hour or two? You may have to adjust the seasonings a bit but I think that would work fine. (Let me know!)
Do you recommend draining and rinsing the beans before adding in the crock pot?
You know, I always drain and rinse red beans, but for whatever reason haven’t done that with white beans before Jalie! But, there’s no reason not too, so I’m sure it would be fine. (Thanks for pointing that out – I probably will drain and rinse mine next time!)
