Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 6–8 cups low-sodium beef broth
- 1 ounce taco seasoning
- 10-ounce can diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 15-ounce can crushed tomatoes
- 1 diced yellow onion
- 3–5 cloves minced garlic
- 1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice
- 15-ounce can black beans
- 1 to 1½ cups canned or frozen corn
- Shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese (optional)
- Sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional)
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
- Avocado, diced or sliced (optional)
- Crushed tortilla chips or strips (optional)
- Lime wedges (optional)
Instructions
- First things first, grab a large skillet and place it over medium-high heat. Add your pound of lean ground beef. Break it up with a spoon and cook until it’s nicely browned all over.
- Once the beef is cooked, drain off any excess fat.
- Add your diced onion to the skillet with the cooked beef. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens and becomes translucent.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for just another minute until fragrant.
- Transfer the browned beef, onion, and garlic mixture directly into your large crock pot.
- Add the uncooked, rinsed long-grain white rice, the full packet of taco seasoning, diced tomatoes with green chilies (undrained), crushed tomatoes (undrained), rinsed and drained black beans, corn, and finally, the 6-8 cups of beef broth.
- Give everything a good stir to combine all the ingredients thoroughly and ensure the seasoning is distributed evenly throughout the liquid.
- Place the lid securely on your crock pot.
- For a Low setting: Cook for 6-8 hours. For a High setting: Cook for 3-4 hours.
- About an hour before serving, stir the soup and check the rice for doneness. If the soup seems too thick, add another ½ to 1 cup of beef broth or hot water.
- Once the rice is tender and the soup is hot and bubbly, it’s ready to serve!
- Ladle generous portions into bowls and let everyone customize their bowl with toppings.
