I make this every halloween. A few friends come over to help hand out candy, and they all ask if I'm making it days before and rave about it afterwards. So I must be doing something right, although I don't think there's much you can do wrong. Keep in mind this feeds quite a few people lol.

    Taco soup is a favorite in our family. Freezes great too so I always make extra.

    That’s the cutest recipe organizer I’ve ever seen!! Gonna have to find one, I still prefer handwriting mine out and this beats my scruffy notepad 😆

    My family loved this. I wasn’t too sold on it but it came together eventually when I added a tablespoon or two of tomato paste.

    I make something very similar, but I put frozen chicken breasts instead of ground beef! After it cooks the chicken shreds perfectly.

    Love taco soup, I keep THIS and copy cat Chicken Gnocci from Olive Garden in my freezer. I have 16 oz deli containers (I’m single). I fill and freeze. Perfect servings. Both REHEAT perfectly. I typically have some frozen breadsticks in my freezer too, this is GREAT with corn chips and mexican mix cheese on top. It’s a filling heart soup.

    Looks delicious, I’m def saving this to try later.

  9. One of my favorite things to add is hominy! I also enjoy crunching up Fritos and serving it as a topping with shredded cheese. You can also use tortilla chips, but they don’t hold the crunch as well imo.

    I use a really similar recipe, but I make a smaller portion, and I tend to make it without meat a lot of the times because I’m lazy.

  10. I love this! I make a nearly identical recipe except I use chicken breasts and then shred them instead of ground beef.
