Crock Pot Taco Meat step by step
- Place the ground meat (raw) in the crock pot..
- Pour the salsa on top and sprinkle with the taco seasoning mix..
- Cover and cook on high for 3 -4 hours until no longer pink. Use a spoon to break up the taco meat and serve. (drain any fat off the meat).
- Notes – I like to break up the taco meat 30 minutes before serving. Also, you could use frozen ground beef but you will need to cook on high for 7 hours. This can be done in an instant pot/ pressure cooker as well just add 1 cup of Beef stock and sever with a slotted spoon or try to cook the beef stock out using the sauté function..
- I did drain an fat off. Then I broken up the meat and mixed it up, as you can see I had a lot of fat !.
To freeze, place shredded meat into freezer bags with the juices. Press out all the air and seal. Now you know the 'why' of cooking taco meat in a Crock-Pot, but now you've got to get cooking! Here's how to make it: Dump the ground beef, salsa, and taco seasoning into your slow-cooker. Simmering all day gives the taco meat an amazing texture!
