Slow Cooker Taco Chili

Surprise, surprise – another slow cooker recipe for ya. Please don’t be sick of them yet because I’ve only just begun! I have been using my slow cooker non-STOP lately but I just love the convenience. I love prepping and cooking in the morning when I have more time and energy to do it.

If you’re anything like me, there are nights of the week when you just absolutely do not want to cook. You’re tired, you’re hungry, and you really just don’t want to adult. Take out isn’t really an option for us anymore because of Adam’s gluten intolerance and Kelsey’s lactose intolerance. There just aren’t many places to eat around us that can accommodate both of their needs.

So cooking every.single.night. it is. Which, honestly, can feel like such a chore on those nights where you just don’t give a fork. Enter slow cooker dinners to save the day!

I’ve been doing a lot of experimenting with different meals and I’ve been doing some freezer meal experimenting. This slow cooker taco chili is freezer friendly cooked and un-cooked.

If you want a freezer meal that you can just thaw and dump in the slow cooker in the morning, this one is it! Just brown and drain the ground beef and then add all of the other ingredients to a freezer bag and freeze until ready to use. Or you can cook it all and freeze leftovers for dinner round 2. Enjoy!

Notes

*I had fresh tomatoes and cherry tomatoes to use up so I used fresh in this recipe. I you don't have fresh tomatoes on hand, you can use a 14 oz can of diced tomatoes. This meal is very freezer friendly. You can add all of the ingredients (cook the ground beef first) to a gallon sized freezer bag and freeze. Thaw overnight before using and cook as directed. You can also freeze leftover cooked soup.
