Taco Soup {Slow Cooker}

Thought I would switch up the chicken today and utilize my favourite kitchen appliance, Betsy, my crock pot! :)

This is currently cooking and smells DELISH! I did make a few changes however. They are as follows, I did drain my beans (which I used black beans) and I drained my corn. We like thicker soup so, this worked out better! I may also add some additional taco seasoning to spice it up slightly :)

Also, at a mere 5 points plus per serving this is a great choice! We will serve it with some salad and other things, but yea! This recipe gets you 9 (nine) 1 cup servings! 

Enjoy! Come back later for an update and "maybe" some pictures!

Ingredients:

1 pound ground beef

1 small onion (or half of a large onion), diced

1 can pinto beans, undrained

1 can kernel corn, undrained

In a pan, brown and crumble ground beef along with diced onion.

I season my ground beef with a little salt & pepper.

 Drain excess grease.

 Put ground beef and onion mixture in slow cooker.
