Easy Taco Chili even your kids will love {CrockPot Recipe}

Weeknights are crazy for our busy family. Between dance, gymnastics, golf and recording workout videos for my clients I barely have time to cook or sit down with the whole fam. That's why I look for one pot meals, or meals that are on the stove to table in 30 min.

Even if you're in a hurry you can fill tummies with yummy food, have enough time for bath and a still have time to binge watch some Hallmark movies while folding laundry.

Before creating my menu my 3 question to myself are-

1. Will it fit in my macros?

2. Will the family approve?

3. Is it an easy recipe I can make fast?

Once those are covered I look in my pantry and fridge and can build from there.

I try to cook a meal at least 3x a week then we have meals for the other 4 days, or they can work for lunches for me and the hubs.

Occasionally when the hubs is home during dinner time we will attack a complicated recipe but for the most part easy is the way to go.

Today's easy family recipe is my Taco Chili!

It's hard to resist a taco theme on this day. I know you will agree!

Every Tuesday I'm craving some tortilla chips and salsa.
