Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Seasoning

  • 1 lb ground beef (browned)
  • 2 Tbsp taco seasoning
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper

Vegetables and Beans

  • ½ onion (diced)
  • 1 cup corn (frozen or canned)
  • 1 can black beans (15 oz, drained and rinsed)
  • 1 can kidney beans (15 oz, drained and rinsed)
  • 1 can crushed tomatoes (15 oz)

Liquids

  • 3 cups beef broth

Grains

  • 1 cup uncooked rice

Instructions

  1. Brown the Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess fat before adding it to the crock pot.
  2. Prepare the Crock Pot: Transfer the browned ground beef to the crock pot. Add diced onion, corn, black beans, kidney beans, crushed tomatoes, taco seasoning, garlic salt, salt, and pepper.
  3. Add Broth and Rice: Pour in the beef broth and stir to combine. Add the uncooked rice, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  4. Cook the Soup: Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 5-6 hours, or on high for 2-3 hours, until the rice is tender and the flavors are well blended.
  5. Final Touches: Stir the soup well before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
  6. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with your favorite toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped cilantro, or sliced avocado for extra flavor.

Notes

  • Use quick-cooking rice or pre-cooked rice if you prefer a shorter cooking time, adding it during the last hour of cooking.
  • For a spicier soup, add diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.
  • This recipe freezes well; store leftovers in airtight containers for up to 3 months.
  • For a vegetarian version, replace the ground beef and beef broth with plant-based protein and vegetable broth.
