The issue with lots of work travel means the family will eat a lot of meals out when I am gone or many frozen pizzas. Before a recent work trip, I put the ingredients for a new version of taco soup in the crock pot before leaving. Then I instructed the family to take some pictures and let me know how it tasted. Crock pot taco stuffed pepper soup turned out to be a huge hit.
This crock pot taco hamburger and rice soup is a taco-seasoned stuffed pepper soup with a tomato base, rice, bell peppers, onions, and ground beef and slow cooked to a delicious, hearty soup. If my kids and husband loved it, this is sure to be a favorite of your family too.
Taco Hamburger and Rice Soup Ingredients
Just as the recipe name states, the base of this soup is ground beef and rice. But to make the flavors form a richness, these ingredients make this taco soup recipe a keeper.
- Ground Beef
- Long-Grain Rice
- Onions
- Garlic
- Bell Peppers
- Diced Tomatoes
Fire-Roasted Diced Tomatoes- Tomato Paste
- Beef Better than Bouillon
- Tomato Paste
- Taco Seasoning
While this recipe could be made entirely in the crock pot, I start it on the stove and then let it slow cook all day.
How to Make Crock Pot Taco Stuffed Pepper Soup
To make this soup, start the two cans of tomatoes and rice in the crock pot while you simultaneously start browning the ground beef on the stove.
Stir the rice to combine and let continue to heat up over the low setting on the crock pot. When the beef is browned, add rough chopped onions and peppers to the beef. Cook for a moment and stir in the beef base and minced garlic.
Continue to cook the beef for another minute, stirring to combine and coat the beef and vegetables in the beef base. Then stir in the tomato paste and taco seasoning. When the tomato paste and taco seasoning have coated the ground beef and peppers, add two cups of water to help pick up all the flavor bits and pieces stuck to the pan.
Pour the ground beef mixture into the crock pot to mix with the tomato and rice combination. Add an additional two cups of water to the crock pot. Stir to completely combine and let cook on low for 6-8 hours.
When ready to eat, shredded cheese or even sour cream would be a great garnish. Serving this straight up with no garnish is also tasty. Keep this taco soup easy for you.
