Description

This recipe is easy. You can cook it in about an hour, or cook it in the crock pot all day.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Ground Beef
  • 1 whole Onion, Diced
  • 2 cans (10 Oz. Can) Rotel With Chilies
  • 2 cans (15 Oz. Can) Black Beans
  • 2 cans (11 Oz. Can) Mexican/Fiesta Corn
  • 1 package (1 Oz. Packet) Dry Ranch Dressing/dip Mix
  • 1 package (1 Oz. Packet) Taco Seasoning
  • Shredded Cheese, Optional, To Serve
  • Sour Cream, Optional, To Serve
  • Fritos, To Serve (optional)

Preparation

1. Brown ground beef and onions.

2. In the meantime, combine black beans (drained, if you’d like), Rotel with chilies, and Mexican corn in a crockpot OR large pot. (We usually use a large pot.) Mix everything together. Allow ingredients to simmer together on medium heat.

3. Once the meat and onions are browned, put them in the pot. Now, add the taco seasoning and ranch mix. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the cayenne if you’d like, too. Mix everything together.

4. Cover and cook on medium-low to low heat for about an hour or two, stirring occasionally. You can also cook it in the crockpot all day on low heat.

5. When ready to eat, serve topped with shredded cheese, sour cream, and/or Fritos. Completely optional, but the cheese is wonderful with it.

Oh my goodness! I just made this for dinner for my husband and me. It is so, so good! It’s almost like a tex-mex chilli! We are in love and it will definitely be a keeper in our house! I did add a little cayenne pepper, but could have probably gone without it since our taco seasoning mix was “hot”.

I made this yesterday in my slow cooker while I was at work, 8 hours on low. It turned out great, but it was even better as leftovers the next day! Next time I will cook it overnight, then refrigerate during the day and reheat for dinner. I made the recipe exactly as stated except I used a smaller package of ranch dressing, about half the size. My husband hates ranch, and I didn’t tell him there was any in it before I made it. The end product didn’t taste like ranch at all, but it may if you use the full size packet. Also, I added a rotel size can of water, and it ended up being too watery, so next time I will add just maybe 1/4 cup water to help mix up the spice packets. Thanks!!
