Crockpot Mexican Haystacks

I found a couple different versions of this dish & decided to kind of combine some of the flavors from the two.  I love the idea of Mexican Haystacks!  These did not disappoint!  It is creamy & packed with flavor & texture.  It makes a LOT for our little family, so sadly we might not make it again for a while, unless we invite some friends over to help share in the goodness, but it is great for bigger families & or a potluck.  Did I mention this is made in a crockpot?  How easy is that?  Can't get any better!
