This easy Meaty Taco Soup is made in the crock pot and filled with ground beef, sausage, beans, corn, veggies, taco seasoning and ranch dressing mix.
Oh how I love winter nothing warms you from the inside out more than a good bowl of soup or stew. Today I wanted to share an easy recipe for Crock Pot Taco Soup. What I love most about this recipe is that you can just dump everything in the crock pot and pretty much forget about it. Who doesn't love that?
No problem I just substituted with a can of black beans instead. That's what is so great about canned beans; they're so versatile and can be interchanged to create so many recipes. In fact I loved the addition of the black beans so much next time I make this recipe I will be using all three bean variations.
Don't forget to bake up a big skillet of homemade cornbread to go along side this yummy soup. I prefer to make my favorite Sweet Corn Cake , but feel free to use one of your own favorite cornbread recipes. In usual fashion I have included a few step by step photos of how easy this taco soup is to make.

Using a large skillet brown the meat together with the chopped onions. Drain and add the meat mixture to your crock pot. Rinse and drain all of the beans. Next just start adding all of the canned ingredients, water and drained beans to the crock pot. Sprinkle the taco seasoning and ranch dressing mix on top and give it a gentle stir. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
Ladle into soup bowls and garnish with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!!! Yum just look at all those hearty beans.

Crazy weather huh? One day in the 80s, next night in the 40s! Little warmer tonight, but just wish it'd make up it's mind! This is one of my favorite cool weather soups and so easy to stretch. Looks wonderful Tina!

I make something like this with leftover turkey! It's a great way to mix up your thanksgiving leftovers!
I use Paula's Recipe for Taco Soup too, so yummy!
Hi,
This looks so good. I am going to try this out but I need a crockot.
I saw your lovely Le Creuset? What size is it may I ask. I need a dutch oven too, but I am so confused on what size to urchase.

I think it is the 7.25 quart. I am not sure, it was a gift. But I do know it is the big dutch oven.
This looks good but I'm worried there isn't enough liquid to make it soupy. One cup of water for all those ingrediants doesn't seem like very much.
It's in the crockpot cooking now!! Thanks for all of your wonderful recipes!! I have made my entire month's menu based on your website!

Made this a few nights ago and it was a huge hit in my home! Super delish!
Ok this has been printed and put in my recipe binder
Before theweek is over I will have taco soup.YUM!!!
This recipe was fantastic. It makes quite a bit so I shared with the co-workers who totally raved about this. They all got the recipe. My husband said "who said you could take that to work?" He liked it also. I did also add southwestern style corn, garlic and orange pepper (had to be used up.) I tried it with ground beef and mild sausage. For the toppings I used sour cream, cheese, green onion and corn chips. A keeper.
Tried this recipe this weekend and loved it. Will definitely try it again! Love your site!
Make this every year for the senior dinner at church , goes over very well.
