Slow Cooker Taco Soup

Whipped up this Slow Cooker Taco Soup for Halloween and it was absolutely perfect; warm and comforting and ready when we were.

Slow Cooker Taco Soup

Brian and I are usually hit or miss when it comes to full on Halloween trick or treating celebrations. For starters, we don’t have small kids. And the idea of leftover candy isn’t something high on our priority list. Our neighborhood, however, is perfect trick or treat size and I always feel guilty if we don’t semi participate in the porch decorating and handing out of the candy.

I remember when we were first married and our neighbors in our previous subdivision were all older retired couples minus the one single man next door. Like clockwork, the porch lights were turned off and our area of the street became a dead zone of “no one is home, do not bother knocking for treats”.

I didn’t want to be those people.

While the Crock Pot Taco Soup was doing its thing, I put out my witch, chalked a welcome greeting, and plugged in the fog machine.

You know, keeping things subtle. Ha!

Slow Cooker Taco Soup

The soup was just what we needed when we made our way indoors and our candy delegation duties were complete.

True to the beauty of using a crockpot/slow cooker, it’s seriously the easiest recipe ever. A recipe you can just dump its contents and go about your day.

It’s components are a thing of beauty, too. If you’re like myself and you don’t love a ton of tomatoes then just add 2 cans rather than 3. Not a fan of super spicy? Then skip adding jalapenos. Need more spice in your life? Then toss in a can of green chili’s and garnish with a jalapeno slice.

Limitless I tell you.

I like my Taco Soup served with Fritos but my husband likes it with tortilla chips. I say purchase both and give your guests an option.

Seems to work in my household.

Arrange the toppings in a DIY type station and let people garnish as they please.

 Extra cheese. Sour cream. No sour cream. Green onions. Or, no green onions.

So fun!
