There are a ton of crockpot taco soup recipes out there. This is, by far, my favorite one. It's got a great flavor with a little spicy kick to it. My family loves this on a cool, crisp Fall day.
This can be an easy "dump" recipe if you have all ingredients on hand. Just dump them all in the pot and turn it on. Oddly when I went to make the taco soup this time, though, I didn't have taco seasoning. I always have that on hand!
I remember seeing a homemade taco seasoning on allrecipes.com so I thought I'd try that out. The recipe for the taco seasoning is linked below or you can just use a package of taco seasoning. My husband told me this was the best the taco soup I've made yet, though. I feel like I might not go back to pre-packaged taco seasoning again!
Cool thing about this recipe is that it uses the ever versatile Ro-Tel (another staple in my kitchen). The Original Ro-Tel is a little spicy so if you don't want that, you can use Mild. If you like your mouth burning a little, just use Hot Ro-Tel. They're all good!

Crockpot Chicken Taco
Soup
Ingredients
1 can black beans, drained
1 can kidney beans,
drained
1 can corn, drained
2 cans RoTel, diced
tomatoes and green chiles, undrained
1 can tomato sauce, 8 oz
1 can or bottle of beer,
any kind
1.5 pounds chicken breast
1. Drain the beans and corn and place them in the
crockpot.
2. Add the RoTel, tomato sauce, and beer.
3. Add the taco seasoning and stir to mix.
4. Place the chicken breasts on top of the mixture. I did use frozen chicken breasts. It might take longer to cook but I'm never in a time crunch when I crockpot dinner so it always cooks well.
4. Set on low for 7-8 hours, or high for 4 – 5 hours. Here is what my crockpot looked like after I left the ingredients for 8 hours.
5. Before serving, shred the chicken into bite
sized pieces. It should break up easily
within the crockpot with just a spoon or a fork.
6. Serve with your choice of toppings: cheese,
sour cream, avocados, tortilla chips. I just used cheese with a bit of tortilla chips; however, if I had my choice I'd throw some sour cream and avocado on it too!
