I love a yummy taco soup. We make all kinds of different varieties from chicken to beef, but this recipe is a little different because it is creamy soup with a cheesy base.
Psst… this is a good recipe to use those slow cooker liners on if you are a fan of them. We love using this reusable one.

- 1 lb Ground Beef

How to Make Beefy Cheesy Taco Soup in a Slow Cooker
- Brown ground beef in a skillet (or browning slow cooker) with onion and garlic until cooked through and drain.
- Spray 6 quart slow cooker with cooking spray OR use a slow cooker liner if you aren’t using a non-stick slow cooker. We used this reusable liner that we LOVE.
- Place ground beef into the bottom of your slow cooker and add all remaining ingredients (except for garnish) and stir well.
- Cook on low for 3- 4 hours or high for 90 min to 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Serve in bowls and top with garnish.
Notes on Beefy Cheesy Taco Soup (Crock Pot)
- Recipe inspired by a recipe in Crock Pot’s Dump Recipes.
- We have not tried this soup with cheddar cheese instead of Velveeta. It would likely work, but will not be as creamy.
- The Rotel made this a bit spicy, but if you would like a spicier soup, add one chopped jalapeno.
- As with any of our recipes, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly depending on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish.
- All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline and should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.

Just made this, it’s good. I added water because it was so thick! Any suggestions on something besides water, maybe chicken broth?
We haven’t tried making this with any extra liquid, but if I did, I would probably try adding a little beef broth. If you give it a try, let us know how it turns out!
I love the addition of the cheese to this recipe, it looks delicious! Hope you are having a great week and thanks so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday.

Thanks so much for stopping by Miz Helen!
Newby here. Can I use the same recipe in a 4 quart crockpot? Id love to make it today. Thanks
Hi Silvia-
So sorry I didn’t get to this until today. I am guessing it will likely fit in a 4 quart . It may have to cook a bit longer. Enjoy!
Hey Cris?
Have you tried the Mild Rotel in this? It might not be as spicy if that’s what you’re looking to do. My kids don’t like things as spicy as I do, so I usually use the Mild Rotel in any dish that calls for it.
Absolutely… we use mild usually (I also use other brands that seem to be even milder sometimes).
Would velvetta shredded cheese work in this taco soup recipe?
While I use the shredded Velveeta for alot of things, my experience is that it doesn’t melt as smooth as the block of Velveeta. Just my thoughts…..
