Everyone loves this and it is so easy to make!
My family loved it – I did add a little Cajun seasoning, Red pepper, and Sugar for a bigger bang. I didn’t use a slow cooker – I used a dutch oven style pot and mixed everything at once! I added Gouda and Avocado to my bowl. Yummy!!
I made it tonight with some minor changes. I slightly drained the beans, added a can of drained diced tomatoes & at the last minute added about 1/3 c of leftover rice in an attempt to thicken it. It needs to cook in the crockpot on high much longer than the 20 minutes the recipe said, I ended up finishing it in the microwave so we could eat dinner. The whole family said it’s a keeper.
I have a wonderful recipe that is in storage (bad year)so I have been looking up variations, and this was the closest. I however remember my recipe having a jar of V8 and use that instead of water or tomato paste, and added in a can of pinto and a can of navy beans. I brown the ground meat (in our case chicken or turkey)with 1 onion, tossed into the crock and used hominy instead of corn due to diverticulitis in our house, with 3 cans of beans and one package of taco seasoning. If you like it spicier you can add green chilies or spicy beans. Slow cook 4 hours and garnish as desired. Very yummy on a cold day!
I had 8 ounces of already taco seasoned ground beef. I through that and some chopped onion in a big skillet. When it was cooked, I added Mexican flavored stewed tomatoes that I had chopped/squished up, almost a can of black beans, some corn, and a bit of water (not the whole amount). No other seasonings. I let it come to a boil, then covered and let it simmer for a while (40 min?) It was SO good. Topped it with cheese and ate it with cornbread. My dad liked his over potatoes. So easy and so delicious.
I found this recipe a couple years ago and it’s something I now make on a regular basis. It’s simple, fast, easy, and delicious! In fact, it’s on the stove as I’m writing this review. Oh, and I don’t change a thing except that I use the “hot” taco seasoning mix and throw in some extra garlic and cumin for personal taste. It is, however, awesome just as submitted. Thanks, Lanay Bien, for posting this. 🙂
Good and Simmple! I used cooked chicken cut into cubes instead of ground beef, and added chicken broth instead of water. Served it with tortilla scoops! We’ll have leftovers as a salsa snack today! Thanks for sharing!
Swapped out the tomato paste for canned diced tomatoes, and served over rice. Will probably add onions when browning ground beef next time.
Perfect as is! I wanted to make chili with pre-seasoned taco meat, a can of black beans, and a bag of frozen corn, and this was it! SO easy for a fall weeknight, and everyone loved it because it pretty much just tastes like a taco. I added a can of diced tomatoes and green chiles, and will probably add 2 cans next time. But I love that I could email this recipe to my husband and he could make it exactly like this with no trouble.
this was delicious! i subbed can of diced tomatoes for tomato paste. added onion and garlic before sauteing meat. i added some wheat penne pasta (for my kids). topped with sour cream, cheddar cheese and cilantro. it was a huge hit! we will definitely be making this again.
Well, to be honest, I was not expecting much but everyone in my family loved it. I followed recipe but used 1/2 can tomato past and then full can of MILD rotel…came out awesome! After putting it all together I then threw in crockpot on low for the day…
I used a can of Rotel tomatoes with chilies instead of the tomato paste for more zip..and it had plenty of zip! For those that like less spicy then the plain tomatoes will work just fine. I wanted a side dish to go with meat I already had/didn’t want the beef in it so I just left the beef out and used beef broth instead of water. Made 3/4 c of rice (1.5 c when cooked) to serve it over. 3 of us got 2 meals from it….so the rating for 6 servings is accurate.
delicious – however a little runny… I suggest draining the beans before. Great and quick!
Delicious! I used all my leftovers from taco night (ground beef, corn, and black beans) to make this — a great way to turn the same ingredients into a different meal! Not leftover-y at all. Like other reviewers, I also used a can of diced tomatoes (the kind with onion and garlic) instead of the tomato paste. Added some spices and it turned out great! I also served it over rice.
Very Yummy! I found this just by typing ingredients that I had on hand. I used tomato sauce instead of paste. I also added a can of Rotel Diced tomatoes and used mexican corn instead of plain corn. Will definatelymake this again!
I made this in a skillet minus the tomato paste and made burritos with it. It was great just like that too!
Perfect!
Delicious!!
This soup was wonderful! I used a bag of dry black beans because I had them on hand and no canned ones to use. The family loved this simple and delicious recipe!
As the author states. A mild stew. Which it was. It was a nice throw-together. I think it needs a little bit more of a kick. But was quite nice. Possibly a 1/2 cup of salsa. But family liked it. I’ll add so spices to it the next go around. But this is totally kid friendly the way it is. Thanks
This was like eating bean dip as stew….not so good.
