Crock Pot Taco Meat. Crock Pot taco meat is perfect for parties! Not only does your slow cooker make family dinner time a breeze but it is great for parties or large crowds. We love to serve tacos for parties and using the crockpot makes it so easy.
I'm all about making things as easy on myself as possible.
One of the meals we have quite often is taco's.
Normally I just make the meat on the stove top, but decided I would try in the slow cooker but still make it super easy.
You can have Crock Pot Taco Meat using 3 ingredients and 5 steps. Here is how you cook it.
Ingredients of Crock Pot Taco Meat
- It's 2 pounds of meat – ground beef.
- You need 1 cup of salsa (per every 2 pds of meat.).
- It's 4 tablespoons of Taco seasoning (see my taco seasoning recipe) (2 tablespoon per every 2 pds of meat.).
Crockpot Taco Meat - This taco meat makes dinner super simple!. Most people use ground beef, but ground chicken, pork or turkey also work. Since we aren't browning and draining, I like to use something with a low fat content. Sprinkle meat with homemade taco seasoning (or store bought) and add salsa, stir to coat.
Crock Pot Taco Meat instructions
- Place the ground meat (raw) in the crock pot..
- Pour the salsa on top and sprinkle with the taco seasoning mix..
- Cover and cook on high for 3 -4 hours until no longer pink. Use a spoon to break up the taco meat and serve. (drain any fat off the meat).
- Notes – I like to break up the taco meat 30 minutes before serving. Also, you could use frozen ground beef but you will need to cook on high for 7 hours. This can be done in an instant pot/ pressure cooker as well just add 1 cup of Beef stock and sever with a slotted spoon or try to cook the beef stock out using the sauté function..
- I did drain an fat off. Then I broken up the meat and mixed it up, as you can see I had a lot of fat !.
Dissolve taco seasoning into chicken broth. Place chicken breasts in crock pot and pour chicken broth over. With two forks, shred the chicken meat into bite-size pieces. To freeze, place shredded meat into freezer bags with the juices. Press out all the air and seal.
