It’s always great to have a meal in reserve. One of those things you can pull out on days you just do not have time to cook…or just plain don’t want to. OR you have unexpected guest show up. There's always a whole host of reasons. You get me, time…time…time.

And this easy crockpot taco soup recipe is one of those grand recipes. Happily, it only takes 10 minutes to prep it. That’s for the slow cooker, for the stove top OR for the freezer.


Making Taco Soup in the Crockpot

You can do this recipe very easily on the stovetop. Just fry the ground beef and onions, drain…toss in the remaining ingredients. Stir and simmer. Very simple. Very fast.

But making this taco soup in the crockpot will give it more flavor. The tastes have the time to meld and combine. And (as with most all Slow Cooker Kitchen’s recipes, there is very little or no babysitting!

Time Saving Tips for Making Crockpot Taco Soup

Here are a few short cut ideas. For those days/weeks/months that time is at a premium.

  • Use our Make-Ahead Ground Beef recipe to cook your ground beef and onions overnight.
  • Purchase frozen vegetables. PictSweet has a 3 Color Pepper & Onion Strips blend that works great for this.
