Great served with salsa, sour cream, and guacamole.
You can use any white beans. I often use white kidney beans or great northern beans.
Adjust the amount of black olives to your taste.

Check the crockpot a little early to make sure it does not burn.
You can cut this recipe in half, just decrease the cooking time by 30 minutes.
You can also use a 15 ounce can of diced tomatoes and a 4 ounce can of diced green chilies in place of the 10 ounce can of diced tomatoes and green chilies.
