Instructions
 

  • Brown ground beef in skillet and drain. Place browned beef into a cooking oil sprayed slow cooker. Add remaining ingredients, except garnishes, and stir to combine. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours.

Notes

*freshly fried tortillas, cut into 1/4s or 1/8s are wonderful for dipping into this soup
