We all love quick, easy dinners for busy weeknights, right? I especially love them for back-to-school time. Between running errands, school pickup/drop off, and extracurricular activities, quick and easy recipes are a MUST at my house!
With this Slow Cooker Taco Soup recipe I just brown the ground beef in the morning, dump all of the other ingredients into my slow cooker, and then I’m ready for dinner time hours later!
When a dinner is easy to prepare and good for you, that’s a win-win in my book! I love loading this soup up with S&W Beans because they have the highest standards in the industry. They don’t just look great, but they taste great, too! Frankly, no one does beans better. They have a ton of varieties: red kidney beans, garbanzo beans, black beans, pinto beans, white, beans, and other varieties like less sodium and organic beans, too!
If I was to make the beans for this recipe from scratch, then I would have to spend hours in the kitchen cooking them. Thankfully S&W Beans are so convenient and such a time-saver that, consequently, I don’t have to spend hours in the kitchen making this Taco Soup!
S&W Beans offer a wide variety of ways to use beans, some even out of the ordinary.

What a great use of some ready-prepped canned items to make a fresh, delicious and colourful home-cooked meal. Really like the look of the taco soup, not something I’d have thought to use a slow cooker for!

Slow cooker recipes are perfect for the colder months when it’s already dark when I get home and I just want to curl up with a bowl of something! This soup looks amazing
