Yield: Serves 8

Ingredients

Scale

2 lbs ground meat
1 cup chunky mild salsa (or your go-to salsa)
1 tablespoon taco seasoning of choice
1/2 cup bone broth or cooking broth of choice
For serving: tortillas, cheese, your favorite taco toppings or add to a bowl with your go-to fixings

Instructions

Add everything to the crockpot. Place the ground meat in the crockpot and break it up a little with a spoon. Pour in the salsa, taco seasoning and broth, then mix everything together gently.
Cook on high for 3.5 hours. Put the lid on and let the crockpot work its magic. After 3 hours 30 minutes, open the lid and use a wooden spoon to break the meat into smaller crumbles.
Cook another 30 minutes. This last half hour ensures the meat is evenly cooked, tender, and has soaked up all that flavor.
Serve and enjoy! Build tacos, burrito bowls, nachos, or whatever your heart desires.

Notes

*Store leftovers in fridge for 5 days.
