If you’re looking for a meal that is hearty, flavorful, and requires little effort, Slow Cooker Taco Soup is the perfect choice. With simple ingredients and minimal prep, this recipe brings bold flavors to the table while letting your slow cooker do the hard work.
To make it, you will need 1 pound of ground beef (or ground turkey), 1 medium chopped onion, 1 can of chili beans (15 oz, undrained), 1 can of kidney beans (15 oz, drained and rinsed), 1 can of corn kernels (15 oz, drained), 1 can of diced tomatoes (15 oz), 1 can of tomato sauce (8 oz), 1 can of green chiles (4 oz, mild or hot), 1 packet of taco seasoning mix (or homemade), 1 cup of water, and optional toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, tortilla chips, or fresh cilantro.
Begin by browning the ground beef with the onion in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked, then drain any excess fat. Transfer the beef mixture to your slow cooker and add all remaining ingredients: chili beans, kidney beans, corn, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, green chiles, taco seasoning, and water. Stir everything well, cover, and cook on Low for 7–8 hours or on High for 3–4 hours until the soup is hot and the flavors are blended.
When ready to serve, ladle the soup into bowls and let everyone customize with their favorite toppings. Each spoonful delivers tender meat, hearty beans, and just the right amount of spice, making this dish comforting, filling, and unforgettable. With minimal effort and everyday ingredients, Slow Cooker Taco Soup proves that comfort food can be both simple and incredibly satisfying.
