Definitely something I'd try... simple and tasty sounding! I really need to pull out my recipe for homemade Taco Seasoning. Be nice to have it on hand and much less sodium.

Thanks for the share

I have tons of these. I use the crockpot 1 time a week or I make casseroles. It is cheaper and better to cook in bulk I think.

I have Chili Mac, Three Bean Chili, Pork Tenderloin, Chicken & Brocolli, and sooooo many more. I can email them to any one that wants them. I have emailed them to several members already. If you can open them in word they are yours..

Just send me a message with an email and I will shoot them out..

Umm yess! Please do send recipes to daniellejoan32@gmail.com

I made this today, but with ground turkey (browned and drained before adding to crock pot, 10 mins while adding the canned stuff) it was delicious! I used two cans of black beans otherwise the kids wont eat kidney beans.
