This slow cooker taco soup is one of my favorite meals to make and a staple in our house. Especially when its a little bit chilly outside. It’s the perfect mix of easy and delicious. And this time of year my slow cooker is my favorite way of making anything. Not to mention I have a serious weakness for any sort of Mexican food. And anything with cheese.
I mean just look at this cheesy goodness:
The bonus is that this slow cooker taco soup also freezes well. So, you can make some ahead of time and put it into individual dishes for a quick lunch or dinner when you don’t feel like cooking. That counts as meal prepping, right?
All right, enough with the rambling about how good it is and on to the making.

Does this soup freeze well?
It does Marla! In fact, I usually make a batch and freeze it in small containers so I can take it out for a quick lunch or dinner.
