Whip up this super simple Tex-Mex take on chili with this Crock-Pot Three Bean Taco Chili recipe. So easy to make and sure to be a family favorite!
Slow Cooker Three Bean Taco Chili
This recipe for Crock-Pot Three Bean Taco Chili was a super big hit with the family who gobbled it up. It has all the warm hearty goodness that you expect in a chili but the taco flavorings add a little something extra I think.
I served with a side of corn bread but the kids thought that we needed tortilla chips to go with it. Next time I make this recipe I will definitely do the tortilla chips (and maybe some extra taco topping likes sour cream. But as the recipe stands it is a solid winner and is definitely a recipe I am making again and again!

I think I’m going to have to buy a bigger crock pot just for this recipe. YUMMMM!
Can I substitute corn for something? My husband is allergic! What would be a good suggestion?
Yes. or just leave it out.
As Katie mentioned you could just leave out the corn or you might try adding in some additional beans. Either way I am sure it will turn out great!
Just wondering if I can use a 5 quart crock pot for the Three Bean Taco Chili recipe. I don’t have a 6 quart.
I have never rinsed cooked beef before. What is the purpose?
Good question Rebecca, I was always taught to rinse your ground beef after you cook it with hot tap water. It just removes all the extra fat that cooks off. But I have heard that not everyone does this. It would be OK to just drain off the fat too. But, like I said rinsing it gets more of the fat off than draining. I hate a greasy dish.
Thank you for this amazing recipe! I’ve won 2 chili cook-offs at my office with this recipe and made it a dozen times. It is becoming my Christmas Eve tradition. Making it again today for family visiting from Hawaii on a cold Dec week. Perfect dish to warm everyone’s hearts. I use ground turkey, leave out the corn and add green Chile’s and diced red bell pepper. I love the flavor using the taco seasoning.
Wow thank you Julie for the amazing review. It is so cool that you have won chili cookoffs with this recipe!
