Slow cooker taco soup is a quick, inexpensive recipe for days when you don’t want to have to think about what’s for dinner!
As a homeschooling mom of many (5 kids, both biological and adopted) I needed some meals that were simple and ready at the end of what were usually hard days.
Those were long days of schooling, piano lessons, field trips and therapy sessions for my adopted kids with wounded hearts.
Many days we were just hanging on by our finger nails.
Can anyone relate?
So how do I know if one of those meals was a true success?
My pickiest child (now grown with two babies of her own) asked me to put my Slow Cooker Taco Soup on my blog so she’d have it! There’s no recommendation than that!
This is one of the easiest soups around and is great for a crowd. With Super Bowl Sunday coming up you need to keep this recipe handy.
Serve it with my favorite cornbread and you have a delicious meal! (Seriously, you need to check out that cornbread recipe. The comments alone will amaze you!)
This is the perfect winter recipe to put in the slow cooker at the beginning of the day and have ready when you walk in the door for dinner.
(My husband is not a fan of soup in the summertime. Anyone else have a family member like this? It’s a total bummer!)
I love to take it to potlucks and I’ve even doubled it and served it to crowds for small group gatherings as well.
I can smell it even now!
If you love soup for busy families some of my favorites are Slow Cooker Cheese Tortellini, Slow Cooker Chicken Chili and Slow Cooker Chicken Gnocchi.
What is your favorite quick meal idea? I’d love to know!

Found this because I was looking for a “modified Jiffy cornbread” recipe since I needed to bring cornbread for a work lunch. It was FANTASTIC! Had two bowls last night and will have some more today for lunch. Can’t wait for lunch! Reminded me of the canned soups I like, but doesn’t taste like canned soup. 😉
Thanks, Wendee! It’s such an easy recipe and one of my family’s favorites! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
