8 Servings
Ingredients
- 2 lb ground beef
- 1 1-oz packet ranch dressing mix
- 2 10-oz cans Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies undrained
- 3 tbsp southwestern or taco seasoning such as Mrs. Dash Southwest Chipotle
- 4 cups unsalted beef broth
- 1 8-oz package cream cheese softened and cubed
- 1 8-oz package shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
Cook the Ground Beef
- In a large skillet set over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until it is no longer pink. Break the meat into small pieces as it cooks to ensure even browning. Once fully cooked, drain the excess grease and transfer the meat to a 6-quart slow cooker.
Add Seasonings and Liquids
- To the slow cooker, add the taco seasoning, ranch dressing mix, undrained Rotel tomatoes, and beef broth. Stir gently to combine all ingredients. Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on LOW heat for 6 to 8 hours, allowing the flavors to develop fully.
Incorporate the Cheeses
- Approximately 20 minutes before serving, add the cubed cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese to the slow cooker. Stir until the cheeses are completely melted and the soup has a smooth, creamy consistency. Adjust seasoning as desired.
Notes
This Keto Taco Soup is naturally gluten-free as long as all seasoning packets are confirmed gluten-free.
- Choose ranch dressing mix and taco seasoning labeled certified gluten-free, as some brands include wheat-based thickeners.
- Rotel, beef broth, cream cheese, and cheddar cheese are generally gluten-free, but always verify brand labels to avoid cross-contamination.
