How To Make Steak Enchilada Soup in the Crockpot

This Slow Cooker Steak Enchilada Soup is super easy to make. You are going to start with some chuck roast cut into bite-sized pieces. Toss the meat with some flour and cook in the skillet for a few minutes – until it starts to brown. Place the meat in a 6-qt slow cooker, add the remaining ingredients, cover and cook. Easy Peasy!

  • You can brown the meat the night before and refrigerate it overnight.
  • You can also brown the meat and dump everything in the slow cooker insert and refrigerate the insert overnight. Just pop the insert in the slow cooker in the morning and dinner is done.
  • Do not make the ranch dressing. You are only going to use the seasoning mix.
  • Here is our recipe for Homemade Ranch Dressing Mix: https://www.plainchicken.com/homemade-ranch-dressing-mix/
  • Hee is our recipe for Homemade Taco Seasoning: https://www.plainchicken.com/homemade-taco-seasoning/
  • Is Slow Cooker Steak Enchilada Soup spicy? This soup does have a little bit of heat from the Rotel tomatoes and enchilada sauce. It isn’t spicy, it just has a small kick. If you are worried about the heat, make sure to buy mild enchilada sauce and mild Rotel tomatoes.
  • Can I Freeze Slow Cooker Steak Enchilada Soup? Yes! Divide the leftover soup into individual containers or freezer bags and freeze for a quick meal later. To reheat, thaw and reheat on the stovetop, in the microwave or in the slow cooker.
  • To make a freezer meal, brown the meat and place in a ziplock bag. Put all the other ingredients in the bag and freeze. When ready to cook, put the contents of the freezer bag in the slow cooker. There is no need to thaw the bag before adding it to the crockpot.

What to Serve with Enchilada Soup

As I said, we LOVED this soup. It has the most delicious flavors! We ate this for lunch and leftovers during the week. SO good! We love to top the soup with cheese, tortilla chips, and some sour cream. It is also great with Fritos. This soup is very filling. You don’t need a lot to go with it. We usually make a simple salad and some cornbread or rolls. Here are a few of our favorite recipes from the blog that go great with this soup:

  1. Could you please advise as to cooking time and temperature for when cooked on a stovetop? I'd like to make this while on vacation, but I don't want to bring my Crock-Pot

    1. I have not made this on the stove top, so I cannot say exactly how long it needs to cook. You need to cook the soup until the stew meat is tender. I assume that would take several hours on a low heat.
