Filled with all your favorite taco flavors, this soup will become a favorite with your loved ones! It’s easy to make since the slow cooker does all the work!
Sometimes you need to get food on the table and it needs to be yummy and satisfying. That’s exactly where I was yesterday…in that “sometimes” place. The boys had the day off from school, Halloween was looming in my future and with zero pumpkins carved and candy to buy, I knew cheese and crackers were not going to cut it for dinner.
I actually didn’t give things a second thought, I just pulled out my “Book.” You know – the notebook with all of the food stains, sticky notes and recipes? Taco Soup was my first choice since I had all but one of the ingredients. It’s “cheap and cheery” with a kick of heat, so I loaded up my slow cooker and headed off on my quest for KitKats and Snickers.
Soon enough, darkness fell and our family shared a great meal by the fire. The doorbell started to ring, giggles were heard and it was time….TRICK OR TREAT! Big Sweetie and I gave out goodies to pirates, ghosts and fairies. When it was all over, we decided yet again, the best part of Halloween is handing out the candy…and the kids, and the laughter and the food…and the candy.

Ohhh my gosh! I love a good southern taco soup. I miss all things southern (NC raised, living in Boston while hubby's in school). My mother-in-law makes a great one, but I'm going to try yours next. (shhh…don't tell!!)
Thanks girl! Hope things go well with the hubs school. I know you'll pass along some of our great recipes while in Boston! And don't worry, I won't tell a soul about the soup…
