Crockpot Taco Chili

This is a great throw-together recipe when you're short on time and want a quick, delicious meal to feed the whole family.  I hope you enjoy it!

Ingredients:

1 lb ground beef (I use 80/20)

2 Tbsp olive oil

1 medium onion, chopped (reserve some for garnish as well)

16-20 oz of chicken stock (depending on how thick you want your soup)

1-15 oz can fire roasted diced tomatoes

1-15 oz can of black beans, rinsed

1-15 oz can of corn, drained

1-4 oz can of diced green chiles, drained

2-3 cloves garlic, diced or pressed

1 packet of taco seasoning mix (or use THIS recipe)

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over med-high heat.  Add the chopped onions and saute for a few minutes before adding the ground beef.  Brown the ground beef and drain the excess fat.

While the ground beef is browning, add the remaining ingredients to a crock pot.  Add the meat when brown and cook on high for 4 hours. 

Garnish with your choice of sour cream, shredded cheese, diced onions, or tortilla strips.  Or all of them! Go crazy!

Delicious and it's so simple!  Enjoy!
