    Maybe I screwed something up. It's super watery, like soup and very bland. Once I added more of the listed seasonings, it just tasted like mediocre chili. As my first all-day slow cooker recipe, this was a huge dissapointment. Any ideas for if I try it again?

      So, I haven't tried the recipe yet (hoping to do so today/tomorrow) but just from looking at the ingredients I will probably skip adding the chicken broth for a start. It looks like there will be a lot of liquid released from the other ingredients. If starting with dry black beans then perhaps the extra liquid would be good but I am keen to try without first. I am also likely going to decrease the cooking time. When I have cooked chicken-based dishes in the slow cooker, 4.5hrs on low has been perfect for chicken breast. So I think I will time it for that, and then check where the beans are at and go from there! Hope you guys have better luck next time - I'm really crossing my fingers for this to work, it looks soooo good!
