Crock-pot Taco Soup - A Frugal Recipe

Taco Soup is one of our very favorite recipes and it's so simple, even my three year old daughter can assemble it in the crock-pot. It's perfect comfort food for a busy day because it can just simmer away for several hours! We use organic ingredients and garden produce when possible, but here is the original recipe.


Crock-Pot Taco Soup

1 lb. ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onions
28 oz can diced tomatoes with juice (or about 8 medium tomatoes, diced)
14 oz can kidney beans, drained
1 cup frozen corn
8 oz tomato sauce
1 package dry taco seasoning or 3 Tbsp. of homemade taco seasoning
1-2 cups water
Pepper to taste

1 cup grated cheddar cheese
Tortilla or corn chips (optional)

Directions:

Brown beef and onions and then combine all ingredients except the cheese and chips in your slow cooker. Cook on low for 4 to 6 hours. Top with cheese and chips if desired. Yum!

  3. Yummy! I keep hoping it will get good and cold down here so we can pull out the soups for a good long stretch. It's been way to warm for winter (at least for my taste!) When/if it does get cold, I want to try this!

    1. Thanks Anna! It just dropped below zero where I live a couple of days ago (which is unheard of for here, it's usually subzero by the end of November) so we're just now starting to partake of soups of all kinds :) Enjoy!
