This slow cooker taco soup is perfect when it’s cold outside, and you want a cozy night at home!

This past Saturday it snowed….in Texas!  It all melted within a few hours, but it snowed nonetheless!  When it’s cold outside, soup is one of my favorite comfort foods!  This taco soup is super easy to make and a crowd pleaser for sure.

Ingredients:

1 lb. ground beef- You could also substitute this with ground turkey

1 can black beans, rinsed and drained

1 can of corn, rinsed and drained

1 can Rotel- diced tomatoes with green chilis

3-4 tablespoons of  taco seasoning (from packet)-we used this Siete one

3-4 tablespoons or ranch seasoning (from packet)

3 cups beef broth or water

Possible Garnishes:  Fritos, Cheese, Cilantro, Avocado, Guacamole, Sour Cream, Chopped Green Onions

Directions:

Brown your ground beef over medium heat and drain.

Add all ingredients to your slow cooker (except garnishes).  We have this slow cooker and love it!

Cook on low for 3-4 hours or high for 1-2 hours.

If you are pressed for time, you could also make this in a large pot or dutch oven on the stove top! The slow cooker just gives the flavors more time to blend. Brown the beef, drain and add all ingredients to your pot or dutch oven.  Bring temperature to medium-high heat and stir all ingredients in until mixed well.

Spoon into bowls, add garnishes and serve!
