How to Make Crock Pot Cowboy Soup
To start, in a large skillet, cook ground meat until browned. Drain ground meat if necessary to remove excess fat. Once the meat is cooked and drained add it to a large crock pot.
While the meat is cooking, you can begin to add all remaining ingredients to the crock pot. Do not drain the cans of tomatoes, beans and corn (put all liquid in the crock pot). Stir to combine all of the ingredients well. Cook on low for 8 hours.
Once the soup finishes cooking stir it before serving. If desired serve topped with cheese and tortilla strips or a side of cornbread.
Frequently Asked Questions
Leftover cowboy soup should be left to cool completely and then stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Of course! Go ahead and leave out the meat and make sure to use vegetarian baked beans. Also, more vegetables can be added if desired such as mushrooms and potatoes!
We recommend cornbread or corn muffins, tortilla chips, or a grilled cheese to compliment this soup!

What can you use instead of baked beans.

Hi Jill! You can use any other kind of canned beans you’d like! I would also add a tablespoon of two of brown sugar to give the soup the little hint of sweetness you would have gotten from the baked beans.

Any other kind of beans will work great! Then I would just add a tablespoon or two of brown sugar to get the little hint of sweetness they add to the recipe!

Has anyone ever made this without browning the meat first? I'm just curious as to how it would turn out. ?

Hi VB! I personally haven’t tried that however you can definitely put the meat in raw. Browning the meat before adding it to the crock pot gives the final result more deep flavor.
