Print Recipe

This Effortless Ultra-Creamy Crockpot Taco Casserole is a simple, hearty meal that combines ground turkey, beans, corn, and cheese for a creamy twist on classic tacos. Perfect for busy weeknights, it cooks low and slow in the crockpot.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ lbs ground turkey or beef
  • 1 packet (1 oz) taco seasoning
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (15 oz) corn, drained
  • 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chiles (Rotel), undrained
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend), divided
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ½ cup milk
  • 8–10 small tortillas, cut into strips
  • 1 onion, diced
  • Additional toppings: sliced black olives, sliced green onions, salsa

Instructions

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground turkey (or beef) with the diced onion until fully cooked. Drain any excess grease.
  2. Stir in the taco seasoning packet until the meat is evenly coated.
  3. Transfer the seasoned meat mixture into the crockpot.
  4. Add the drained black beans, kidney beans, corn, and diced tomatoes with green chiles (Rotel) to the crockpot. Stir to combine.
  5. Top with half of the shredded cheese.
  6. Tear or cut the tortillas into strips and layer them on top.
  7. In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream and milk until smooth. Pour evenly over the tortilla strips.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top.
  9. Cover and cook on LOW for 4-6 hours or on HIGH for 2-3 hours, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Serve hot with your favorite toppings like sliced olives, green onions, and salsa.

Notes

For extra creaminess, use full-fat sour cream and cheese. This can be made ahead and refrigerated before cooking; just add extra cook time if starting from cold. Leftovers reheat well in the microwave.
