SLOW COOKER RANCH CHICKEN NACHOS

I have a love/hate relationship with nachos. The love part? How can one not appreciate a giant platter of crunchy carbs topped with all the shredded meats and all the melted cheeses and spicy what nots and more crunchy do dads and cool, creamy sauces and salsas? It's a no-brainer. The hate part? My unruly lack of self control when it comes to all the things. This version is blanketed with a world of ranchy shredded chicken and green bell peppers, so there's just no way to prepare you or your mouth for what's about to happen.
