Instructions

  • Well, here we go. I am all about 'easy' cooking.
  • Put everything in the crockpot except for the taco shells and the toppings.
  • Cook on low 3 to 4 hours or on high 1 ½ to 2 hours.
  • Spread quite a bit on your favorite taco shells, hard or soft.

Notes

IF FREEZING:
Let cool to room temperature and then pack in rigid sided containers as defined in my article How to Prepare Food for the Freezer
TO PREPARE AFTER FREEZING:
Remove from the freezer and put in the refrigerator a few (4 to 6) hours before serving.
Put the filling in a saucepan to heat through and serve.
