Instructions
Stovetop Directions
Brown beef in dutch oven over medium heat. If using lean meat, you may want to add a drizzle of olive oil or avocado oil to the pan to keep it from sticking
Drain meat if needed and stir in taco seasoning mix, ranch seasoning, and 2 tablespoons water until combined
Add the remaining ingredients and give it a good stir
Reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes, covered
Serve with your favorite taco toppings and enjoy this warm bowl of soup!
Crockpot/Slow Cooker Directions
Add all ingredients to your crockpot and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours. I recommend using lean meat if using a crockpot because you won't have the chance to the drain the meat unless you brown it before placing it in the slow cooker. (If you brown the meat first, cook on low for 3-4 hours).
Enjoy a home cooked meal that essentially cooks itself!
