    Stacy, have you ever tried to freeze this recipe? I would think it would freeze well.

      No, I don’t think it would freeze well. I think it would get too runny.

    I am not sure what my favorite part of this recipe is – the jalapeño or the use of a slow cooker! Fantastic recipe!

        Try using it to clip and organize recipes. It might just blow your mind! I’m playing with it because I hear that you can use it to actually create meal plans and grocery lists, but right now, it’s a little too smart for me. 🙂

    I just got the book in the mail today and will start reading it this weekend. I think potatoes will be one of the hardest things to give up. I like my potato soup, mashed potatoes and French fires. It took me forever to find a good soup recipe. Here’s hoping it makes a difference (and that I can convince my husband to eat healthier too)!

    This recipe looks delicious~except the halapeno, but I’ll just leave that out. Is there any calorie or health info? Also, doesn’t the bacon, cheddar and sour cream make it high fat?

    Reply
    • Stacy says

      July 26, 2013 at 12:15 pm

      Yep, it’s high in fat. But in a setting with no carbs, we’re not worried about that. We eat plenty of healthy fats and still lose weight. 🙂 Have you read my Trim Healthy Mama post? It’s linked at the bottom of the recipe.
