How to Make Taco Casserole in a Slow Cooker

Updated with a video from Mikey.

Cris here.

The other day I got to thinking about one of my favorite oven recipes and I decided to get in the kitchen and develop a yummy version for the slow cooker. You guys… the Chili Cheese Fritos (not a sponsor) MAKE this dish. SOOO yummy!

Crock Pot Taco Casserole Notes

  • We used our Casserole Crock Pot for this dish but any regular 5-6 quart slow cooker should work just fine.
  • Next we used a can of pork and beans (and LOVED them) but you could substitute a can of chili beans.
  • Then we used a can of Mexicorn but you could use a can of regular corn if you can’t find it.
  • If you don’t like Chili Cheese Fritos, you could also use crushed Doritos or even a buttery cracker.
  • Looking for more recipes? Our Recipe Finder can help you find exactly what you need.
  • Check out all our favorite recommendations for cookbooks, slow cookers and low carb essentials in our Amazon Influencer Shop.
  • As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly. As a result, your nutritional content depends on which products you choose to use when cookingthis dish. The auto-calculation is just an automated estimate and should NOT be used for specific dietary needs.
  • All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline. Recipes should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.

    Haven’t tried it yet but am sure we’re gonna love it! Just wondering if I could add some leftover homemade guacomole to it .. either at the beginning or perhaps more towards the end?

    I haven’t made this yet but I would use black beans drained cause I love them instead of pork n beans. Skip the milk in the cheese soup too. Should cut down on the soupyness.

    It’s in the crock pot cooking now and so no review just yet. But, I just couldn’t understand why there would be NO tomatoes utilized. At the moment, all I have are canned tomatoes, but it was all I could do to resist draining and tossing those in as well!

      Hi Patty!

      I didn’t add tomatoes to this because my kids are not tomato fans, and I wanted to make this kid-friendly for them. However, we always encourage our readers to make our recipes their own. So next time, drain and add the tomatoes! That sounds like a great addition. If you give it a try, let me know what you think!

    Can’t wait to make this! Kiddos are going to LOOOvE it. Also couldn’t resist commenting on the turtle pants. Nice touch, lol. You guys rock. Keep it up. P.S. Very wise to mark your fritos. Mine didn’t survive the man either. :/

    No offense but I do not like using canned soups. I do enjoy your crockpot recipes and sometimes just sub broth for the cream chicken soup. But what can I substitute for the canned cheese soup? More cheese? Thx!

      Hi Gena-
      No offense taken. We have many recipes that use soups and many others that do not because we have readers that both enjoy the convenience of using them and readers who do not like to use them.

      As for the recipe, any cheese sauce should work. So, if you have a homemade cheese sauce recipe, you could substitute it or you could just use cheese for a thicker texture. Hope that helps. Enjoy!

    We made this last night and it was pretty tasty. I drained off all juices and cut back water and milk to make it a little thicker but it was good. Thinking I might drain and add a can of Rotel next time. 🤔😊

    This is fantastic! A family favorite. I drained the beans and corn. Still plenty soupy…in a good way! Different ways to eat it. I liked over salad. The family liked as tortilla filling and then I even ate some over extra chili cheese chips. Super flavorful and just plain yummy! We eat every bit!

    I made this in a pot on the stove and it was so good! It didn’t look good but it sure did taste good!

    I started this for the first time about an hour ago. I just watched the video. I didn’t realize how soupy it would turn out. I’m new to cooking in general and this is the second recipe I’ve tried in the crock pot. My question is, since I’ve already started it, is there anything i can do to make it thicker? I will like it over lettuce, but I doubt the boyfriend will. lol. And I am cooking it on high because I got it started late.

    Thank you,
    Robyn

      Hi Robyn-
      Since it is already layered, there isn’t much you can do, BUT you can serve it with a slotted spoon and put it over lettuce or even in tortillas. Next time you could omit the milk to make it a little thicker. Hope that helps!

    Sounds good Chris, but how would funny man rate this casserole ? 🙂 I usually can tell if a recipe is good by the way he samples it and raves about it…..so can you ask him, and let us know ? This would be an easy recipe for him to make on your show…..love his videos and how he is so involved in the recipes that you have him make…..

    This one I am going to try, because it is so simple…..and I love just plain simple recipes..can’t get much easier that this 🙂
    Rating it a 5* because I know it will be good…..I love tacos……and I do make a taco soup and it is delicious…….

    My daughter has made the stuffed pepper soup, (not in the crock pot), just regular pot and they love it….she makes it quite often.

    Love your recipes…
