Slow Cooker Taco Soup

There is nothing better than throwing a meal together in the morning and letting the slow cooker cook it all day for you.  It makes serving dinner a snap and there usually isn't much of a mess to clean up afterwards.

My friend Courtney has me spoiled with her Grandma Hilda's Taco Soup.  Back in 2005, the church I was attending at the time published a cookbook and this is one of the recipes. 

SLOW COOKER TACO SOUP

Ingredients:
1 onion, chopped
1 (16-oz) can pinto or kidney beans
1 can black beans
1 can Ro-Tel diced tomatoes with mild green chilies
1 can (28-oz) crushed tomatoes
1/2 package, taco seasoning
1 package dry ranch dressing mix
1 lb ground beef, cooked and drained
1 package of shredded cheese

Directions:

Cook mean and drain the grease off.  Add everything together in a slow cooker.  Do not drain the water from any of the cans.  Stir.  Cook on high for 2-3 hours or on low for 4-5 hours.  Garnish with the cheese.  Serve with sour cream and nacho chips.

Cook meat and drain the grease off.

Here are the ingredients that you will add to the slow cooker
with the hamburger.

If you use your slow cooker a lot, these liners are great
for an easy clean-up.

Garnish with cheese, sour cream and Frito's!
