I know we’re now in the age of the Instant Pot, but today I want to remind you about Slow Cooker Spicy Ground Beef Taco Meat because this is a recipe that changed my life. When I discovered you could put raw ground beef into the slow cooker with spices and hot sauce, and a few hours later (without much tending to it at all) you’d have Spicy Ground Beef Taco Meat, it rocked my world!
This is one of my most-used recipes, and I use it over and over again to make taco meat for Weekend Food Prep! I put the meat into one-cup containers and freeze it, then pull one out whenever that Taco Salad Craving hits me. I love this recipe so much that I wanted to be sure everyone sees it. Whenever you’re having a busy weekend, you can throw some ground beef in the slow cooker on Sunday night and you’ll have at least one dinner ready for the week!
I mostly use spicy ground beef for Taco Salad with whatever ingredients strike my fancy, but you can use this meat for tacos, burritos, or even beef enchiladas.
