Crock-Pot Taco Chili

I don’t know about you, but I love a warm hearty meal during a Midwest Winter. Crock-Pot Taco Chili is a scrumptious option for dinner tonight.

There is nothing better than curling up on the couch and letting the aroma fill your home. For me, this means cooking Chili based on my mood- white chili, easy chili, and taco chili.
