Crock Pot Taco Meat (Printer-Friendly)
Three-ingredient slow-cooked taco meat, perfect for quick meals and customizable with your favorite toppings.
# What You’ll Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
2 pounds ground beef, 90% lean
02 -
1 ounce taco seasoning, store-bought or homemade
03 -
1 cup tomato salsa, medium heat
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Place uncooked ground beef into a 5 to 6-quart oval slow cooker and break it apart with a spatula.
02 -
Sprinkle taco seasoning evenly over the beef, then pour in the salsa. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the seasoning and salsa throughout the meat.
03 -
Cover and cook on high for 2 hours or on low for 4 hours, stirring occasionally to break up the beef into fine crumbles as it cooks.
04 -
Once fully cooked, stir the taco meat to distribute any remaining juices. Serve immediately with your choice of accompaniments.
# Helpful Hints:
01 -
Substitute ground turkey or pork for beef as desired. Leaner meat reduces excess grease since the dish will not be drained after cooking.
02 -
Customizing salsa types unlocks a variety of flavor profiles from mild to extra spicy.
