I wanted to blog about a recipe that for mothers day that even kids could help with. when I couldn’t think of a recipe I went to my good friend, Laura. She gave me this great recipe. Hope you and your mom love this.

For the crockpot taco bake you will need:

1 lb ground beef
1 onion, chopped
3/4 cup water
1 pkg. taco seasoning
1-15 oz. can tomato sauce
1 large can of stewed, diced tomatoes, still in the juices
1-26 1/2 oz. can tomato sauce ( I used green pepper and mushroom)
1 pkg. (8 oz.) uncooked macaroni (Shells work too)

1-1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Brown ground beef and onion in skillet. Drain fat. Add water, taco seasoning, and tomato sauce; mix. Transfer to crockpot.

Stir in macaroni.

Cover and cook on high 2 1/2 hours. In the last 30 minutes of cooking, top with cheddar cheese. Serves 4-6.
