¼ cup taco seasoning or one packed if you are not making your own (see below or above for recipe)

Instructions

If you aren't using a slow cooker liner, I always suggest spraying your slow cooker with a non-stick spray. Even with a soup like this one, it seem to make for easier clean up
non-stick cooking spray of choice
Brown all ground beef stove top in a skilled OR in your slow cooker
1.5 - 2 lbs ground beef
add all ingredients other than broth in to your slow cooker and stir a bit to combine
1 14.5 oz can black beans, 1 14.5 oz can creamed corn, 2 14 oz cans diced tomatoes, 2 4oz cans diced chilies, 1 cup salsa, ½ onion, ¼ cup taco seasoning, 1 tablespoon garlic, 1.5 - 2 lbs ground beef
pour broth over top
3 cups beef broth
cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours
serve and enjoy!

Notes

You may want to taste test and add some additional cumin and taco seasoning before serving if you feel it needs to be stronger.

If you are a fan of spice, use hot chili pepper and hot salsa. You can also substitute one can of chilis with an equal sized can of hot jalapeños to dial up the heat even further.
