So, tacos in the crockpot? Yep, it's so easy!
Here ya go-
Crockpot Tacos
- 1-2 pounds of ground beef. (I have been known to dump it in frozen if I forget to defrost it the night before)
- Taco Seasoning - below I will share my homemade recipe which we make in batches and keep in our cupboard, but feel free to just rip open a package and dump it in!
- 1/2 cup water
Cook on high 4 hours, or low for 6.
Break up meat at end and make sure ingredients are mixed. You may need to add a little more water to keep it from being too dry.
Serve it up with hard shells or soft tortillas, add some fruit and call your night a success! See, simple I told you!
Taco Seasoning
1 Tbsp flour
1 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. paprika
3/4 tsp salt
3/4 tsp minced onion
1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp cayenne
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp sugar
1/8 tsp oregano
Mix all together and store in an airtight container. I do usually at least triple this recipe so we always have it ready. I vary the amount I use, depending on how much meat, but I would say use at least 1/8 cup per pound of meat.
I have never done crock pot tacos with raw hamburger but I have done it with browned hamburger and it is now my preferred method! I usually cook up hamburger and freeze for future meals. Through hamburger in crocpot with 1/2 water and either homemade taco seasoning or a packet, cook on high 2 hours or low 4 and it is perfect! I might have to try your method with the uncooked meat. Thanks!
