If you’re looking for an easy, comforting meal to warm you up this weekend, this Slow Cooker Taco Soup is a perfect choice. Packed with seasoned beef, beans, and rich tomato flavors, this soup is not only delicious but also incredibly simple to make. Just set it in your slow cooker and let the flavors develop into a hearty, satisfying dish.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cans (15 oz each) of beans (red beans, white beans, or kidney beans – your choice), drained
- 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
- 1 can Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 1 cup water
- 2-3 tablespoons taco seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
- Cook the Beef & Onions:
In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Break it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Add the diced onion and continue to sauté for a few minutes until the onion becomes soft and fragrant. Stir in 1 tablespoon of taco seasoning and mix well to evenly coat the meat. - Transfer to Slow Cooker:
Once the beef and onion mixture is ready, transfer it to your slow cooker. - Add Remaining Ingredients:
Pour in the drained beans, tomato sauce, Rotel diced tomatoes, and water. Stir well to combine all the ingredients. Then, sprinkle in the remaining taco seasoning and give it another good stir. - Slow Cook the Soup:
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on HIGH for 4 hours or on LOW for 6-8 hours. The longer it simmers, the more flavorful it becomes. - Season & Serve:
Before serving, taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Ladle it into bowls and top it with shredded cheese, sour cream, or tortilla chips for extra flavor.
Serving Suggestions:
This taco soup pairs wonderfully with warm cornbread, tortilla chips, or a side of rice. It’s a great meal prep option because the flavors continue to develop, making leftovers even better the next day.
Enjoy this warm, comforting Slow Cooker Taco Soup for an easy, no-fuss weekend meal that the whole family will love!
