Slow Cooker Taco Chili

This is one of my favorite recipes. Really easy to make and customizable to your preferences. I personally like to make it spicier by getting the seasoning packs and cans labeled "hot". Makes about 10-12 servings. Great for meal prepping and freezing or serving to a large group.

Ingredients:

- Cooking oil - 1 tbsp

- Ground beef or turkey - 3 lbs

- Taco seasoning mix - 1 pack (1 oz)

- Chili seasoning mix - 1 pack (1.25 oz)

- Dark red kidney beans - 3 cans (15.5 oz each)

- Pinto beans in chili sauce - 1 can (16 oz)

- Golden hominy - 1 can (15.5 oz)

- White hominy - 1 can (15.5 oz)

- Sweet corn - 1 can (15 oz)

- Diced tomatoes with green chilies - 3 cans (10 oz)

- Red enchilada sauce - 2 cans (10 oz each)

- Optional toppings: sour cream, Fritos, cheese

Directions:

- Heat a skillet on high and add cooking oil. Cook meat until brown (5-7 minutes). It doesn't have to be completely cooked, as the slow cooker will do the rest. Add seasoning packets to meat, and thoroughly mix, breaking the meat into smaller pieces.

- Empty all the cans into slow cooker, and then, add the meat. Mix until thoroughly combined. Turn heat on high, and cook for 5 hours.

- Switch heat to low, and serve with your choice of toppings. It should last for 2-3 days in the slow cooker.
