This week has been completely crazy. For those of you that have moved from one city to another, you know how it is to pack up your whole life and haul it to the next town and unload it at the next house. Well, we have a contract on our house and it’s scheduled to close on the 22nd…that’s next week! Yay!
We’ve made an offer on a home in Houston and are waiting to get a reply and hopefully get our house!
So what does that mean for us? Well, we’ll be moving in to our RV for a couple of weeks until we can close on our home in Houston. Yippee! A family marathon camping trip!
It looks like I’ll be making a lot of crockpot meals and other simpler things!
Taco soup is probably not new to many of you, but it’s one that I love to make for a quick meal or one that I can throw in to the crock pot or slow cooker and let stew all day while I’m doing other things. We love to eat it over tortilla chips and top it off with sliced green onions, grated cheddar cheese, sour cream and diced avocado. YUM!
Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 pound pork breakfast sausage (used: Jimmy Dean Hot)

About Jennifer
Happy to have you as my neighbor in Houston now! I've only been here for a couple of years. It's growing on me. This soup looks delicious. Yummy!
Oh my gosh this looks better than any taco soup I've ever seen. I can't wait to make it.
This looks great! I definitely want to make this when the weather is cooler! Have fun on your camping trip and good luck with the move!
This sounds good! You're going to need a lot of quick meals until you get settled. Best of luck!
Those tortilla chips are so cute! When we lived in Texas, I bought Texas-shaped cheese for family members when they came down to visit. From my most favorite store ever–Central Market.
I haven't tried Taco soup yet but you can bet that's on my radar for fall. Congrats on the new abode and I look forward to reading more (found you via Triberr today)
I have one word for you : STICKER!
