Crock Pot Taco Chili Recipe

by 4 Comments

I call this a taco chili because when I was browning the meat I used my favorite McCormick Cheesy Taco mix on top of the beef to give the meat a really great flavor. Whenever I use this packet my family goes nuts over the meat. So I browned the meat then threw everything else in the crock pot and left it all day. It turned out amazing!

Did you know that according to statistics parents don’t make children eat their veggies because they don’t want to upset their children? YIKES!  Can you imagine a place where you don’t have to hide veggies to get your kids to eat them, a place where carrots and broccoli fly off plates and into tummies? This place is called Crock Country. Inspired by the scene depicted on their tubs of spread, Crock Country brings to life a place where good habits are delicious ™ and families are proud to serve vegetables. There you will find really great recipes to serve the whole family.

I took my kids to Costco yesterday to pick out some veggies to eat, and I had a terrible time with my phone camera so I never got a good shot of them picking out veggies. Miles picked out a package of organic carrots and Zoe picked out a package of organic spinach. We also purchased potatoes and corn and we made potato soup.
