3 Chinese Dried Chili's Crushed (or a diced jalapeno)
Fresh Cracked Pepper

DO Not add additional salt, it is not necessary, you have salt in the bacon, spam and taco seasoning.

Rinse beans and place in crock pot. Add Enchilada Sauce and hot water. Saute bacon crisp, add spam and onions and cook till onions are translucent. Use a slotted spoon to scoop out bacon spam and onions, add to crockpot with all remaining ingredients. Cover and cook on high for 10 hours.
