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!

| What you will need to get started (scroll down for full recipe). |
 |
| Fry up your ground beef, onion, and garlic until cooked through. |

| 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! |
