For a richer flavor, consider browning the pearl onions in the skillet before adding them to the slow cooker. Adjust the amount of chili powder and green chile peppers to suit your preferred level of spiciness. Serve with your favorite toppings such as shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, chives, or tortilla chips.
