With the weather starting to get a little cooler, it’s time for some slow cooker recipes.
Dump and Run Taco Soup
2 pounds ground beef
1 small onion
2 garlic cloves
1 package of Taco Seasoning
1-1/2 cups water
2 cans undrained beans, 15 ounce, your choice (Black beans, pintos, Great Northern, Ranch Style, Mild Chili Beans are all great options)
1 small bag of frozen corn, (like Shoe Peg), or 15 oz. can whole kernel corn, drained
14 oz. can stewed tomatoes
1 can Rotel
4 oz. can chopped green chiles
1 package of dry ranch salad dressing mix
Cheese, tortilla chips, sour cream (optional garnishes)
Cook ground beef, chopped onion, and minced garlic, drain grease.
Dump all the ingredients in the morning. Run your errands and let it cook all day. If you have it on low, you can easily cook it for 6-8 hours. If you put it on high, cook for 3 hours and then turn to low. Since all meat is cooked, it’s just about heating thoroughly and letting flavors meld.
