It's that time of year for chili's and soups, and I couldn't be happier :) I love me a warm, comforting bowl of chili on a cold day. This Taco Ranch Chili is so delicious and healthy! (well if you don't add the cheese or sour cream, and if you ask me, those are necessities)
This worked really great in the crock pot. I went home on my lunch hour and browned some ground beef, and then threw all the rest of the ingredients in the crock pot. It was so nice to come home to dinner all ready. Not to mention, my house smelled so good!
