One of my family's favorites, taco soup in the slow cooker is always a hit!
- 1 pound ground beef, turkey, or chicken
- 2 packets taco seasoning
- 1 packet dry ranch seasoning
- 1 onion diced
- 1 4 oz can green chiles
- 2 15 oz cans diced tomatoes
- 1 15 oz can black beans drained and rinsed
- 1 15 oz can pinto beans drained and rinsed
- 2 15 oz cans corn drained
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 4 cups chicken broth
- kosher salt, pepper
- Optional Toppings: sour cream, cheese, hot sauce, cilantro and/or tortilla strips
-
Cook the ground beef, turkey or chicken in a skillet over medium heat and add 1 of the taco seasoning packets according to the directions on the package.

Put the cooked taco meat into a crock pot. Add the other packet of taco seasoning, packet of dry ranch seasoning, diced onion, green chiles, tomatoes, black beans, pinto beans, corn, garlic, and chicken broth.

Stir everything together until evenly mixed. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours. Taste for seasoning and add kosher salt and pepper if needed.
