Slow Cooker Taco Soup Crockpot Meal

Taco Soup is a family favorite around my house. During the winter, I like to put it in the crock pot early Sunday and let everyone munch on it all day any time of year. If friends show up, you can just hand them a bowl, because this recipe makes a lot of slow cooker taco soup!

slow cooker crockpot taco soup is a fantastic and flavorful dinner

If you’re looking for a fun variation on this recipe, you should TOTALLY check-out Shockingly Delicious’ recipe for Slow Cooker Black-Eyed Pea Taco Soup–it sounds so fantastic, I might make that this weekend instead of my normal Crockpot Taco Soup!

I am all about cooking with my crock pot. I like things for cook slow and over time, because it makes them so flavorful, I am so not a pressure cooker kind of gal.

What You Need To Make Slow Cooker Taco Soup Crockpot Dinner

  • 1 lb. ground beef, Cooked (or ground turkey if that’s more your thing)
  • 1 Large Onion, Chopped (Sometimes I cook this along with the beef, and sometimes I leave it out, it just depends on what kind of mood you’re in, really.)
  • 1 Can Pinto Beans (You can substitute black beans here instead if you just really love them.)
  • 1 Can Kidney Beans
  • 1 Can of Corn (But you can totally leave this out if you hate corn. I am so not a corn lover, but everyone else in my family loves it, so I always leave it in. I also feel this way about black olives, and that’s why I never add them to my taco soup.)
  • 1 Can Ro-Tel (Really any spicy diced tomatoes and diced green chile combo will do, but I always just use Ro-Tel tomatoes green chile, because that is what my mom used to use.)
  • 1 Can Diced Tomatoes. (I usually get a big ‘ol can for this if I am having lots of people, or I just use a smaller can if it’s only the fam.)
  • 1 Packet Taco Seasoning Mix
  • 1 Pack Ranch Dressing Mix. (This is the secret ingredient that gives the soup it’s special zing! Don’t leave this out unless you want blah soup.)
  • 1 1/2 Cups Water

How To Make Slow Cooker Taco Soup with Rotel

  • In a large skillet, brown your meat. (This is the part where you can add in the onions or not. I like to, just because I love the smell of ground beef and onions cooking.)
  • Open all the cans and dump everything into your crock pot. Juice and all.
  • Let it sit on high for an hour or two then turn it down to low and you have the best darn crock pot taco soup you’ve ever eaten!

I usually serve mine with tortilla chips, but my husband swears by corn chips, so it’s kind of your choice there. He also loves to add just a dollop of cream cheese to his bowl to make it just a little creamier.

I hope you love my Crockpot Taco Soup recipe, as much as my family loves eating. However, if your family finds that my taco soup with Rotel is a bit spicy for their taste, then you can easily leave it out and add in a different variety of Rotel without the extra green chiles in it.

  1. this is my husbands favorite! I’m making it tonight for my in-laws!

  2. I love the soup but all the pop up ads made it hard to read.

  3. 5 stars
    This is great!! I have made it for parties and it is always a hit! Delicious!!!

  4. I love this recipe though I have made just a few modifications. I make it vegetarian so instead of beef I add another can of beans (black beans), I also use fiesta canned corn instead of regular corn, and mild rotel and petite diced tomatoes. My daughter who usually does not like soup loves this! 🙂

  5. I tried this soup for the first time about 10 years ago at my mother in law’s house and I love it but I like a thicker soup so I added a can of refried beans in the place of the pintos and it turned out great and thick like I like my soups… This is a great recipe

  6. If you don’t like corn, try hominy in this soup. I like both, but the hominy gives a new texture. Love this soup. There are so many ways to BYOC (be your own chef) with this dish. Thanks for sharing your version. Quick and easy.
    As for Liz, who seems to be trolling in the early morning, get a cup of coffee and chill out. I’m sure you have cooked and eaten foods from other cultures, be thankful that Jamie took time to share.

  7. I’m so tired of this type of ignorance. Taco soup? What the hell is “TACO SOUP”? Just because something has ground meat, corn, & beans does NOT make it a taco. Are you guys serious? How ignorant do you have to be, in this day and age, to reduce Mexican food & traditions (like May 5th, Doug), to 3 ingredients and an excuse to drink tequila & be blatantly offensive. We have GOOGLE, use it. Stop being ignorant. STOP CULTURE APPROPRIATION.

    1. please keep your comments to yourself. If you don’t like the receipe scroll past it and find one that you do. I am tired of your type of ignorance.

    2. Wow…seriously? No one is trying to reduce anyone’s traditions with a simple soup recipe. Try taking things for what they are, not what you think they are.

      1. What’s your recipe? I’d love to make it!!

    3. Well Liz, the only ignorant one on here is you. Relax, it’s just soup!

    4. Liz,

      You are what is wrong in the world today! Keep your nasty comments to yourself and grow up!

    5. Liz…praying for you…you have hate in your heart to be so ugly about a post.. ugly is as ugly does…if you can’t say anything nice. DONT say anything at all please…

    6. Seriously? Its called taco soup because it has TACO SEASONING!!! Geez, get over yourself. Are you that bored with your life that you have to run your mouth just to run your mouth?

    7. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. You poor human. Getting your panties all in a wad for no reason at all.

    8. I don’t actually need an excuse to drink tequila, Liz. Maybe you should drink some yourself.

    9. Nothing about this recipe claimed to be Authentically Mexican. It’s called taco soup. Not Mexican soup. Ever heard of a choco taco? You going to wage a war with Mr Softee next? Beans, meat, and tomatoes are very typical ingredients in tacos btw. While I can always appreciate efforts to stop cultural appropriation and check myself regularly, I gotta say this post ain’t it. It’s counter productive to the cause of cultural awareness and gives it a bad name. This is why people who need to listen don’t want to. You’re ego tripping to feel superior, not helping anything. Check yourself.

    10. Get over it lady. Scroll on if you don’t like it. The END !!

  8. I use quorn, healthy, artificial meat. No longer an animal meat eater. Works and tastes great!
    The quorn takes on flavors of whatever it’s cooked with. Yummmmmm

  9. Awesome soup. Hot or cold. Thank u for sharing this!

  10. Thanks for sharing this recipe. Found it on Pinterest and it is amazing. Sharing to my Facebook.

  11. any idea how much this makes? I am cooking soup for 100!

  12. I tried this soup for the first time in my new slow cooker and it was delicious! I can’t wait for my boyfriend to try this tonight 🙂

    Thanks!

    1. Did you add the taco seasoning to the meat after it was browned or dump the seasoning in the crock pot with everything else?

  13. We love taco soup at our home as well! And I am not a huge corn person but will use the white shoe peg corn in this recipe and it is wonderful! Love your site!

  14. I made this tonight with ground turkey for the office Cinco d Mayo party tomorrow and it is excellent. I am sure that they will be asking for the recipe.

  15. Your taco soup looks divine. It would definitely be a winner around my house. Thanks for sharing your recipe with us at Merry Monday.

  16. Loved this recipe! Made it for my family, which contains my father and I as picky eaters and my recently gluten intolerant sister. California has been in a heat spell recently, but when we had 2 cold and drizzly days I took to this recipe to keep us warm. We ate the whole batch practically in one night! I used 2 cans diced tomatoes and one can of spicy green chilies because that’s what I had and we all really liked the spice to the soup. It’s so good it hasn’t been a week yet and we’re already going for round 2! And my stepmom loves it because it’s got easy ingredients you can keep in the house to just throw together during the day and it fits all our needs! Thank you so much for sharing! 5/5!

    1. I LOVE this soup. It is one of my favorite recipes. I am glad your family liked it!

      1. How much does this recipe make?
