A creamy, cheesy, and comforting taco soup made easy in the crockpot with ground beef, Velveeta cheese, corn, and taco spices. Perfect for cozy dinners and busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (85% lean preferred)
  • 8 oz Velveeta cheese, cubed
  • 1 cup canned corn, drained
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes with juice
  • 2 cups beef broth (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies (optional)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (for serving)
  • Fresh cilantro (for garnish)
  • Lime wedges (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat until no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
  2. In the same skillet, sauté chopped onion and minced garlic until softened and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Transfer browned beef, sautéed onion, and garlic to the crockpot.
  4. Add diced tomatoes with juice, black beans, drained corn, green chilies, taco seasoning, and beef broth to the crockpot. Stir to combine.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours to allow flavors to meld.
  6. About 10 minutes before serving, stir in cubed Velveeta cheese until melted and creamy.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or extra taco seasoning as desired. If soup is too thick, add a splash of beef broth or water.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with sour cream, fresh cilantro, and lime wedges.

Notes

Brown the ground beef and sauté aromatics before adding to the crockpot for richer flavor. Add Velveeta cheese near the end to avoid clumping. Stir soup occasionally during cooking for even flavor. Can be made stovetop by simmering for 45 minutes. Freeze leftovers for up to 3 months.
