Equipment

  • large skillet
  • 6 quart slow cooker

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 onion diced
  • 1 packet taco seasoning mix
  • 15 ounces black beans drained and rinsed
  • 15 ounces corn drained
  • 10 ounces diced tomatoes with green chilies undrained
  • 30 ounces frozen diced potatoes
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and onion until it is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
  • Stir in the taco seasoning mix, black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes with green chilies. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Remove from heat.
  • Grease the slow cooker insert with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Arrange half of the frozen diced potatoes or tater tots in an even layer on the bottom of the slow cooker.
  • Spread half of the meat and vegetable mixture over the potatoes.
  • Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the meat mixture.
  • Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes, meat mixture, and cheese.
  • Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 4-6 hours, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Once cooked, serve the taco potato casserole hot, topped with optional toppings such as shredded lettuce, chopped green onions, diced tomatoes, sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.
