      I made this today and my husband said it was the best soup I’ve ever made! We don’t like spicy things so I only put one tsp of taco seasoning and one tsp of Ranch dressing mix and it was perfect for us. Like you I make all my seasonings from scratch and I’ve followed you for a long time….so “thank you” for another wonderful recipe.

        I usually just heat it through on the stove top if I don’t have a lot of slowcooker time. I think another post said 25-35 minutes. Since the meat is cooked before adding, it should be fine.

Ive used different kinds of canned tomatoes…fire roasted instead of petite diced are my favorite. Either way it always turns out amazing!

      I have made a different version of this for many years now, and it is an all time favorite. I have always used chicken broth instead of the beef broth and still use the ground beef. I also put two cans of corn in it, one yellow and one white corn. I use pinto beans instead of kidney beans, I only use the can of Rotel and not the can of diced tomatoes. I don’t use the garlic salt or salt. With all the can ingredients I don’t drain any of them, it helps having the extra liquid and gives the soup more flavor. When I got the recipe many years ago from a co-worker she used pinto beans and kidney beans, and instead of the white corn she put in hominy. I really don’t care for kidney beans or hominy so that is why I switched it up with the black beans and white corn. There are many possibilities of changing this wonderful soup to your taste, it’s just so versatile.

      I made this soup a few days ago as an alternative to my usual vegetables soup. My husband and I loved it! The only adjustment I made was to sauté one medium diced onion instead of using onion powder. Perfect for a cold day. Thanks for the recipe.

      Just finished putting everything in the crock pot. Patiently waiting for a delicious lunch on a 28° chilly day. Thanks for the recipe!

      How many servings does this recipe make? I just received a new crock pot for Christmas, but it is a small one (4 quart) and I’m cooking for only one or two. Please respond, I’m at the very least the third person to ask this question, and I really want to try this.

        Hi Tara ~ this makes a big batch and serves approx. 8 – 10. I typically cook in my 5.5 quart or 7 quart Crock Pot, due to the size of the recipe. Hope that helps! 🙂

          Hello Heidi!

          If I am doubling the recipe, should I cook this longer? I’ve made this many times and everyone LOVES IT! ❤️

            Hi Krislyn ~ I’m so glad to hear you all love the Taco Soup! If doubling the recipe, you’ll definitely want to extend the cook time. Just keep an eye on it, and stir occasionally so that big batch heats up evenly. When the entire batch is evenly heated and all hot, it’s ready to serve! 🙂

            Hi Anne… I would suggest cutting the recipe in half to make sure it fits easily in your 4 quart crockpot. Hope that helps! 🙂

      My family isn’t big on beans, could do 1 can & get away with it, what can I substitute for that second can?

        Hi Liese ~ if your family isn’t big on beans, you could just leave out 1 can altogether, and it should be just fine. 😉 ENJOY!!

      This is hands down the greatest soup I’ve made in a long time. Different from what I’m used to. I am in heaven. It is just so tasty. I didn’t think using just one can of everything would make enough soup, but I used one can of everything, and it made plenty of soup. I topped it with the Fritos and the sour cream and the onion because I had no scallion. It is simply amazing. Thank you!!

        Do you know how many WW points it is? Or where the nutrition is? I made it for dinner (didn’t really care about points – just curious! 🙂 )

      For the taco soup recipe can I cook the meat in the crockpot with the other ingredients and not have to brown it first? Would it taste the same?

        I wouldn’t do this simply because of the grease in the meat!

        To make things easy for recipes like this, I buy my hamburger meat in bulk at sams club and cook and freeze it in one pound bags as soon as I get home. So it makes taco, soup, and sloppy Joe nights a breeze!

          Yes ladies, this meal does freeze well. My high school senior took it out one morning on her way to school so her and friends can eat it up, after school.

      Question for you – I love crock pot recipes because I can set them, go to work and come home to a ready made meal. However, most of your recipes call for intervention after 3 hours and I am gone much longer than that. Do you know if these recipes will work if you put in all of the ingredients on low for 8 hours?? 🙂 thanks!

      • Heidi says

        October 12, 2015 at 11:09 am

        Hi Robbin ~ if cooking on LOW, you can typically just double the cook time that a recipe calls for when cooked on HIGH. So if it cooks for 4 hours on HIGH, you’ll often be able to cook for 8 hours on LOW. Every Crock Pot cooks somewhat differently, so you’ll just want to keep an eye on them at the end. Hope that helps! 🙂
