For an even richer flavor, consider adding a smoked ham hock or a few slices of bacon to the slow cooker. Adjust the amount of chipotle peppers and adobo sauce to control the level of spiciness. Start with less and add more to taste. If you don't have liquid smoke, you can substitute with a pinch of smoked paprika for a similar smoky flavor. Serve with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt to cool down the heat.
