Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Seasonings

  • 1 lb ground beef, browned
  • 2 Tbsp taco seasoning
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper

Vegetables and Beans

  • ½ onion, diced
  • 1 cup corn (frozen or canned)
  • 1 can black beans (15 oz), drained and rinsed
  • 1 can kidney beans (15 oz), drained and rinsed
  • 1 can crushed tomatoes (15 oz)

Liquids and Grains

  • 3 cups beef broth
  • 2 cups cooked rice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base: Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat. Transfer the beef to the crockpot.
  2. Add seasoning and ingredients: Add taco seasoning, garlic salt, salt, pepper, diced onion, corn, black beans, kidney beans, crushed tomatoes, and beef broth to the crockpot. Stir to combine all ingredients evenly.
  3. Cook the soup: Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-2.5 hours, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  4. Add rice and warm through: Just before serving, stir in the cooked rice. Cover and allow it to warm in the crockpot for 2-4 minutes until heated through.
  5. Serve and enjoy: Ladle the soup into bowls and serve with your favorite toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped cilantro, or avocado slices for added flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for the beef to make it leaner.
  • Use low-sodium beef broth to control salt content.
  • For a spicier soup, add diced jalapeños or salsa.
  • If preferred, use brown rice instead of white rice; just make sure it is pre-cooked before adding.
  • This soup freezes well; store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
