Crockpot Taco Pasta
You all know we love making any recipe we can in the crockpot. I thought making taco past in the slow cooker was so much fun!
It is the perfect spin on taco Tuesdays with a bit of pasta thrown in. This recipe is super easy to make and you can set it and forget it while getting life things done.
We all have those nights when we wish we could click our heels and make dinner magically appear on the table.
With this quick and easy recipe, you don't have to click your heels for dinner to appear because it is so easy to make.
The longest part is browning the meat and I tend to do that on Sundays as I meal prep for the week.
I brown a ton of hamburger and keep it in the fridge ready for upcoming recipes. It saves me from having to stress over getting the hamburger browned and also saves having to wash the same large skillet multiple times in the week. I am all in for anything that helps decrease the number of dishes I have to wash.
If you are looking for other ground beef crock pot meals you can also make during the week check out these great recipes.
Tater Tot Sloppy Joe Casserole
Bolognese Sauce that can be paired with any pasta
All of these recipes take ground beef and the crockpot! You can easily brown the hamburger at the beginning of the week and use the slow cooker to make dinner a breeze!
I hope this helps make your week a little less stressful! Hopefully, you gain a few minutes to sit on the couch with your feet up and just take a deep breath. I know life is crazy and we all deserve a moment of peace on the couch to just breathe!
This is such a fun twist on hamburger helper that the family loves!
