Howdy friends!
I know many of us are fa-reez-ing right now and I thought I would share my version of this popular slow cooker soup recipe, and maybe make the cold a little easier. I am still doing lots of little tweaks (oh the plug-ins, I am officially hooked!) to our new WordPress platform, but I am loving it!! So I spent most of the weekend behind my computer and reading.
Do you use a slow cooker during the Winter or all year long? I have found that I love to use it just as much during the warm months so the oven and stove are on as little as possible. But hearty soups and stews are hard to beat this time of year.
Plus, I just really like the idea of having dinner figured out and cooking by lunchtime. To save a little more time I like to keep a few pounds of cooked, frozen ground beef in the freezer. So when I throw this all in to cook, I don’t even have to pull out a frying pan. I use quart size freezer bags to freeze cooked ground beef by the pound so this comes together really fast.
I love to serve it with cornbread or warm corn tortillas. Sour cream, shredded cheese & cilantro all make an great garnish too. Here is how I make it:
