Crockpot Taco Chili

Simply delicious, pretty nutritious, and incredibly easy to make! This super easy Crockpot Taco Chili is a winner, winner cold weather dinner!

This past week has been insane.

I started out with a brutal 24 hour stomach virus that nearly killed me, threw my back out thanks to said virus, hosted a small trick or treat party for Halloween, celebrated 6 years of happily ever after, and then hosted another backyard get together with some neighbors that involved breaking in our new outdoor fireplace, pulled pork sandwiches, fishing, Fireball Whiskey, and s’more’s…Possibly in that order, but I can’t remember. (See: Fireball Whiskey) 😉

It was such a great week, well minus the nasty virus and the fact that I still can’t sit down for more than 20 minutes thanks to my compressed spine, but I missed you all so I wanted to pop in and share a super easy recipe until my Chiro can fix me back up. 🙂

This crockpot taco chili could not be easier to make! It’s tasty, filling, fairly inexpensive and could easily feed a crowd! Here’s how to make it…
