How to Make Hearty Taco Casserole in a Crock Pot
Aunt Lou here.
A while ago I made a delicious Crock Pot Beefy Potato Taco Casserole and Tracy, one of our readers, said she used nacho cheese sauce instead of cheddar cheese soup and thought that adding black beans would be good. I thought I would try out Tracy’s change and her suggestion. The result was this amazing Crock Pot Hearty Taco Casserole!
My family loved this recipe. The flavors of all the ingredients come together to give you a flavorful meal. The ground beef, potatoes and beans all come together to give you a dish that will definitely fill you up! Personally, I loved that it was super easy to throw together!
I used to hate making any recipe that had me cut up or slice potatoes. What I did not realize at the time was that my problem was not the potatoes. My problem was my knife was too dull. I know this may sound simple, but I really had no idea how easy a really sharp knife could make food prep. I accidentally ran across Rada Knives because they were being sold for a fundraiser, and I ended up getting a couple. They were a game changer for my food prep. I finally didn’t dread cutting up potatoes or chicken or anything else! (This post is not sponsored. I just really love these knives.)
