Slow Cooker Taco Soup
A simple, delicious, dump and go soup where your slow cooker does all the work! This is a hearty, chunky soup so if you prefer a thinner consistency, add 1-2 cups of water or chicken broth. If you don't have all the seasonings on hand, add 1 packet of taco seasoning mix while cooking the beef.

Notes
