The lazy days of summer are just about over. Soon enough the weather will change, the trees will showcase their brilliant colors, and the days will become a little more hectic. One of my favorite ways to warm-up and to solve the mad dinner rush is to dig out my slow-cooker and make soup. One of our family favorites is Taco Soup. Easy, economical, and so yummy! Throw this on in the morning and dinner is done! I want to hear from you! Do you have a favorite family recipe or maybe an easy and quick go to meal? I would love to see it. Leave a recipe or a link in the comments below I would l love to see what you’ve got cookin!

| Alison finishes up. |
 |
Add the cooked ground beef to your slow-cooker.
The next step is easy-add everything else and give it a good stir.
I needed someone with a little muscle for this step;) |
 |
Voila! Turn it on low, cover, and go about your day.
Don’t want to crock pot it? You can add all the ingredients to a
stock pot and simmer for 15-20 minutes and serve. |

This is how it looks, mama style. Sharp cheddar cheese,
sour cream, green onion, and Frito’s. What will you add to yours? |
 |
| If you’re so inclined, enjoy it with a nice glass of chocolate milk! |
Taco Soup
-1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
-1 large onion, diced
-1 clove of garlic, finely minced
-1 12oz bottle of green taco sauce
-1 can beef or chicken broth (14-16 oz)
-2 (15oz) cans black beans, drained and rinsed (optional-if you don’t mind the off color)
-15 1/4 oz can of corn, drained
-4 1/2oz can of chopped green chilies
-15oz can of tomato sauce
-1oz packet of taco seasoning
-3-4 Cups of water
-your favorite garnishes
In a large skillet over medium heat cook the ground beef, diced onion, and minced garlic until the ground beef is no longer pink. Add the beef mixture to your slow-cooker and add the rest of the ingredients, stir. Cover and cook on low until ready to serve. Simmer 15-20 minutes for stove top method.
Add a salad some corn bread muffins for an even heartier meal. This recipe feeds my family of 5 with leftovers for lunch the next day. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Thanks for visiting!
