Taco Soup
Anyone have a really simple recipe for Taco Soup? I want to make some and put in the freezer. A friend has a recipe that sounds a little complicated and she puts cream cheese in hers. Not sure how ...

Nice recipe. I printed it out and the wife said she would do it. She likes using a crock pot. Now for dessert! This actually works and is real moist, just eat it out of the cup around the campfire.

This is the same as a Lava Cake or a Fallen Chocolate Souffle. It goes by many names and can be quite delicious. The key is to avoid poor cocoa like Hersey or Nestle and use high-quality cocoa. The other thing we'd do a little differently is to substitute butter (unsalted) for the oil and melt the butter in warm milk before mixing all the ingredients together. It's a bit richer but oil works just fine. Just make sure it's a neutral flavored oil and not olive oil.
