How did she do that? Really fast taco soup

It is always a good thing to have a recipe or two that you can make in minutes and tastes good.   We have all had days when time gets away from you.

It starts with the prep idea of frying bulk ground meat when you bring it home from the store or shortly after.   Fry the meat, de fat it of you need to and place it on quart bags portion controlled for you family.  We bag the amount we need for tacos.  You can always pull multiple bags from the gallon bag you freeze them on . Label the gallon bag,  this double bags your meat and you only have to label one bag. 

Taco soup - it really takes five non passive minutes.   

  • Take a half a pound of cooked ground beef out of the freezer and defrost it in the microwave about 1.5 minutes or just bat it on the counter until it’s broken up. Place it on the slow cooker.  I use the insta pot, 
  • Add the following :
  • 1 -  can of diced tomatoes , not drained 
  • 1 can of beans of choice -black, P.I. to, or kidney , drained and rinsed, 
  • 1 can or equivalent frozen of corn 
  • 4 cups of beef or vegetable stock.  I just make the stock in the cans, it rinses the cans and makes less dishes, 
  • 1T taco seasoning (homemade)
Turn the slow cooker or Insta pot on lsowmcooker mode and let it cook until you are ready to eat.   
Technically everything you put in the pot is abkento be eaten straight from the can.  You just want the flavors to combine and it to get hot.
