Before moving to Boston I never had to plan meals around the season and whether or not a dish required turning on the oven…but oh how the times have changed. Back in April or May of this year I began frantically searching for no bake recipes to enjoy during the summer. Keeping the house as cool as possible quickly becomes priority numero uno each summer.
Thankfully a close friend passed along this recipe for crockpot taco soup and it became an instant hit in our house. It has a little heat to it, but if you like spice give this recipe a try!
Ingredients:
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 (1 ounce) package hidden valley ranch dressing mix
- 1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 (16 ounce) can kidney beans
- 1 (16 ounce) can black beans
- 1 (16 ounce) can whole kernel corn
- 1 can Rotel or Mexican-style diced tomatoes
- 1 (8 ounce) can diced tomatoes
- Frito corn chips (optional–although I’ve been told that this is a must)
Directions:
- Brown meat and drain. Add to crockpot.
- Add all other ingredients to the crockpot without draining.
- Cook on low 4-5 hours.
- Top with corn chips, cheese, sour cream, or whatever your taste buds desire.

Now that the weather has cooled down I’m so excited to make this!
This is one of the easiest Crockpot recipes I have tried. This soup is perfect for a chilly day.
