Crockpot Taco Soup
Submitted by Erin ~ The Sisters Cafe
Printable Recipe here
½ to 1 lb ground beef
Taco seasoning packet (the equivalent of 1/4 cup seasoning)
½ to 1 cup chopped onions
garlic (either a clove or a sprinkle of garlic powder)
crushed red pepper
salt and pepper
1 can Kidney Beans (well drained) or any kind of beans
1 can Black or Pinto beans (well drained) or any kind of beans
1 can Corn (may be frozen or canned)
1 can Green Beans (may be frozen or canned)
1 can Stewed tomatoes (cut up to bite sized pieces)
Brown ground beef and onions. Drain off fat. Stir in Taco Seasoning packet. Add garlic and a sprinkling of crushed red pepper. Put in a crock pot with some salt and pepper. Add the contents of the five cans to the crockpot. Add enough water so that the water level reaches the bottom of the mountain of ingredients. (Maybe a cup or so, I can’t really remember. And it’s not an exact science. You want it to be thicker than how you will want it when you serve it. The ingredients should not even be close to being covered in water.) Add beef bouillon (1 tsp for ever cup of water added). Leave in the crock pot all day.
Looks seriously yummy Erie! I am thinking that I need to get into crockpot mode ASAP with this new baby Colt.
ReplyDeletewow easy-peasy! I like it! thx sis!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love taco soup!! It is one of my all time favorites. The kids love it too.
ReplyDeleteI'm always looking for more Crock Pot soup recipes for the winter, and this looks perfect! Adding this to our must-try list. Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteErin... do you think you could use ground turkey instead of ground beef? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteDarcie, I think that would be fine if you prefer ground turkey. Give it a try and let me know how it goes for you!
ReplyDeleteThe soup is delicious! I made it earlier today, and I'm having a hard time waiting until dinner to eat it. :) I used the ground turkey, and I also used a 28 oz. can of crushed tomatoes in place of the stewed tomatoes. Very yummy and so easy... my kind of recipe.
ReplyDeleteThis was so easy, fast, and sooo good whole family loved it
ReplyDeleteI made this today - plenty for the two of us and a little family who just had a baby. Delicious and so easy - my kind of recipe! :) I added a little extra taco seasoning and it was great.
