Notes
Slow Cooker Instructions:
To make this in the crock pot, start by browning the ground beef and onion in a skillet over medium-high heat until the beef is cooked through and the onions are soft. Drain any excess fat, then transfer the mixture to your slow cooker. Add the garlic, taco seasoning, ranch seasoning, crushed tomatoes, green chiles, kidney beans, black beans, corn, beef broth, black pepper, and salt. Stir everything together, cover, and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours until heated through.Nutrition
