Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 4–6 hours
Total Time: About 6 hours
Servings: 4–6

🛒 Ingredients

  • 1½ pounds ground beef
  • 1 can (15 oz) corn, drained
  • 1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Optional Garnish

  • Chopped parsley
  • Green onions

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Prepare the Slow Cooker
    Lightly grease the slow cooker with nonstick spray or a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Add the Ground Beef
    Place the raw ground beef into the slow cooker and break it up slightly using a spoon.
  3. Add the Corn
    Pour the drained canned corn evenly over the ground beef.
  4. Add Remaining Ingredients
    Add the diced tomatoes and sprinkle the taco seasoning evenly across the mixture.
  5. Slow Cook
    Cover and cook on:

    • LOW: 5–6 hours

    The beef will cook through and absorb the delicious flavors as the mixture simmers.

  7. Serve
    Stir gently before serving and garnish with chopped parsley or green onions if desired.
