Slow CookerTaco Soup

 

Welcome to Spring!  I was trying to delete an extra photo in my post yesterday and managed to re-arrange the right sidebar, oh well!  Fortunately it is just for that post.  I have no problem adding photos but haven't found the delete photo button.

This slow cooker taco soup is basically a recipe Pam posted.  It is delicious, son K guzzled his bowl pictured above!

1 lb ground meat (I used pork mince, ground chicken sounds like another tasty option)

1 packet of taco seasoning

1 can black beans drained

1 can corn drained

1 can beef broth plus a can of water

one can crushed tomato

1 jalapeno de-seeded and chopped (optional)

2 cloves garlic minced

1/2 onion chopped

2 tbs olive oil

Brown the ground beef in olive oil.  Drain any fat and pour the meat into the slow cooker. Add the remaining ingredients and cook on low for 6 hours.

Optional toppings ( it is good on its own):

Sourcream, shredded cheese, green onions, tortilla chips

You can also make your own taco seasoning and use maybe a tablespoon of it instead of a seasoning packet:

2 tbs chili powder

1 tbs garlic powder

1 tbs cumin

2 tsp paprika

1 tsp salt
