Slow Cooker Taco Soup
One of my new goals for 2016 is to find ways to simplify my life. One of those ways I’ve decided to simplify is by choosing meals that are quick and easy; one of the fastest methods of cooking I’ve discovered is via crock pot. There’s nothing quite like throwing everything into my slow cooker in the morning only to enjoy a delicious meal in the evening. Prepared in a matter of minutes, the entire family will enjoy this Slow Cooker Taco Soup. And I’m not joking when I say in a matter of minutes; simply dump a bunch of cans into your crock pot, let it simmer for a few hours, and you’re done!
Slow Cooker Taco Soup
Ingredients:
– 1/2 bottle tomato juice
– 1 small can tomato paste
– 1 packet taco seasoning
– 1 lb ground beef
– 1 can corn
– 3 cans of beans (I typically use a combo of kidney beans, navy beans, and pinto beans)
– 1 can of diced tomatoes
Instructions:
1. Empty tomato juice, tomato paste, and taco seasoning in your crock pot. Stir ingredients together.
2. Place ground beef in your soup. If you’re crunched for time, you can cook the meat before adding it to your soup. If you have all day to let it simmer, you can add it raw.
3. Add corn, beans, and diced tomatoes (make sure to drain all of the juice from the cans before adding).
4. Stir all ingredients together.
5. Simmer on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
6. Before serving, make sure that your ground beef is cooked thoroughly (no longer pink).
7. Serve with all of your favorite toppings. Some of ours include cheese, Fritos, and sour cream. You can also add guacamole or tortilla chips.
This recipe typically feeds my 4 person family for 2-3 meals. And you know it’s a good recipe when you don’t mind eating it for lunch and dinner 2 days in a row!
We looove Taco Soup but this is slightly different from our recipe! We’ll have to give this version a try. Thanks for sharing at the Delicious Dishes Linky Party!
Yum, sounds good! Thanks for sharing at Merry Monday, hope to see you again next week!
The soup looks soooo good! We love tacos, I’m sure the soup is just as good.
My family love taco soup! Thanks for the recipe!
This is similar to the Lasagna soup i make. I am always looking for new slow cooker recipes to try.
That look so good. I love taco soup, and I’m all about the crock pot. I can’t wait to try this.
We are big fans of Mexican food around here. I will have to try this.
What a great idea! Many of the moms we know have also been experimenting and trading great slow cooker recipes. We just shared your post to add to the mix 馃檪
Yum, I love a good homemade soup this time of the year and this looks like such a hearty one. I bet my tortilla strips would compliment it perfectly!
