Scale

- 1 (15-ounce) can corn (or frozen corn), drained
- 1 (10-ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies (like Rotel), undrained
- 1 (1-ounce) packet taco seasoning
- 3 cups beef broth (or chicken broth)
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until fully cooked (6-8 minutes). Drain excess fat if desired.
- Transfer the browned beef to a 6-quart slow cooker using a slotted spoon.
- Add the drained and rinsed black beans, drained corn, and undrained can of diced tomatoes with green chilies to the slow cooker.
- Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the ingredients and pour in the beef broth. Stir well to combine.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed (add salt, more heat, or a squeeze of lime juice).
- Serve hot in bowls with desired toppings (shredded cheese, sour cream, cilantro, tortilla chips, etc.).
Notes
Don’t skip browning the meat for best flavor. Rinse the black beans to avoid a starchy soup. Use a trusted brand of taco seasoning. For a creamier version, add a block of cream cheese during the last 30 minutes of cooking. Leftovers keep for up to 5 days in the fridge or 3 months in the freezer.
