Slow Cooker Taco Casserole--all the familiar flavors of tacos but in a casserole form and (even better yet) it's made in the slow cooker!
 
What’s more family friendly than tacos? It’s the perfect meal to satisfy everyone from Daddy to Baby. I love this version that’s made in the slow cooker. It’s a great dish to whip up before a busy afternoon/evening ensues. The slow cooker is able to offer you the freedom of eating a hot meal when you need it and if necessary your family can eat in shifts and everyone can still eat a hot meal (no microwaving needed).

We all scarfed this taco casserole down. I love the idea of adding a dollop of sour cream and guacamole on the top! I used my casserole crock to make this recipe but a normal slow cooker will work too.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef or ground turkey
  • 2 Tbsp taco seasoning (I use homemade)
  • 1 (13.75 oz) can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 (10.5 oz) can rotel tomatoes (diced tomatoes with green chiles)
  • 1 (14 oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (I used sharp cheddar and mozzarella)
  • Toppings: tortilla chips, sour cream, cilantro, avocado

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet brown the ground beef and add in the taco seasoning. When the meat is well browned add in the cream of chicken soup, rotel, black beans and frozen corn. Stir together. Pour all into the bottom of your slow cooker.  Sprinkle with the cheese.
  2. Cover and cook on LOW for 2-3 hours.*
  3. In serving bowls, put a handful of crunched up tortilla chips. Top the chips with a scoop of the casserole. Top with sour cream, cilantro and avocado, if desired

*This recipe can also be made in the oven. Use a 9×13 pan and bake at 350 for about 30 minutes.

Notes

Ideal slow cooker size: 3-4 quart

To make gluten free: Substitute cream of chicken soup out with a can for a GF container of soup OR try this homemade recipe that equals the same as a can: 3/4 cup gluten-free chicken stock, 3/4 cup whole milk, 3 TBS.  cornstarch. Check taco seasoning to be sure it does not contain wheat.

    Love this taco casserole Karen. Delicious and so convenient. Saves the time of everyone making their own separate taco at the table! Also drooling over your beautiful casserole crock!
