CROCK POT BEEF FAJITA SOUP



Crock Pot Beef Fajita Soup image

Season to personal taste, this will do great for any Medifast Lean & Green.

Provided by Andrea Van Eaton

Categories     Beef

Time 6h

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb stripped or cubed beef
2 tsp better than bouillon beef blended in 2 cups water
2 cloves garlic, peeled and shaved
2 c sliced bell peppers of varying colors
2 Tbsp sliced jalapeno peppers
2-3 c sliced white mushrooms

Steps:

  • 1. This meal amounts/cooks down to 1 lean protein serving of beef, 2-ish green servings of mushroom and green peppers, and 2 condiments of bouillon, garlic clove, and jalapeno pepper. Feel free to substitute ingredients to your own taste.
  • 2. Add prepared ingredients to crockpot. Cook for 6-8 hours on low. Remove from heat and serve.
  • 3. This will also do well for a family meal if added to a bed of rice or used for fajita taco filling. A Medifast-er can feel more comfortable with a bed of cauli-rice when seated at a family meal. I suggest non-Medifast-ers add onions, ground pepper, and other spices for the full "fajita" effect.
