Hearty Slow Cooker Taco Soup is the kind of dish you’ll want to make again and again. It’s simple, hearty, and loaded with bold flavors that taste like comfort in a bowl. With ground beef, beans, corn, and a kick of taco seasoning, this soup is a perfect weeknight meal that practically cooks itself.

To begin, brown 1 pound of ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until no pink remains, then drain the excess fat. While that cooks, chop one medium onion. Gather the rest of your pantry staples: chili beans, kidney beans, corn, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, green chiles, taco seasoning, and water.

Transfer everything into your slow cooker—the browned beef, onion, beans (with liquid), corn, tomatoes, tomato sauce, green chiles, seasoning, and water. Give it a good stir, cover, and let it simmer on Low for 8 hours. This long, slow cook blends all the flavors into a rich, savory soup with the perfect taco-inspired taste.

When it’s ready, ladle the soup into bowls and dress it up with toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado slices, or crunchy tortilla chips. Each spoonful is hearty, flavorful, and satisfying—no wonder it’s a recipe worth making every week!
