Slow Cooker Taco Meat

Nothing beats biting into a crispy taco shell that’s filled to the brim with this saucy spicy taco meat.  It’s so incredibly delicious and tastes as good if not better than tacos at a restaurant!

Saucy taco meat and crispy taco shells are a match made in heaven.

I like to make this taco meat with a combination of ground beef and ground pork, and brown it with onions before adding it to the slow cooker.

Then add some basic ingredients, let it slow cook for about 4 hours, spoon it into crispy taco shells, eat and then repeat.  It’s so good.  Leftover taco meat freezes up nicely too.

So let’s check out the ingredients.

Ground pork, ground beef, onion, tomato sauce, chili powder, dried Mexican (or regular) oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, hot sauce, salt, pepper and water.

Here’s how to make it.

Heat a large skillet on medium heat and add the ground beef and ground pork, and stir.

Add chopped onions and stir.

Continue stirring and breaking up the ground meat into pieces as it cooks.  Cook until the meat starts to turn brown (about 12 minutes).

Next,

transfer the meat to a slow cooker pot.

In the pot, add garlic powder…

…onion powder…

…oregano…

…cumin…

…pepper…

…salt…

…chili powder…

…tomato sauce…

…water, and

hot sauce.

and,

stir.

Cover with a lid and cook for 4 hours on the low setting.  After the taco meat is done, stir together.

Serve the taco meat while hot in crispy taco shells…

…and top with shredded cheddar cheese and lettuce.

Then,

enjoy.
