Notes

  • Can you put raw ground beef in a slow cooker?
  • Yep! You don’t need to brown it first and it works great!
  • How do you keep taco meat warm in a crock pot?
  • Once it’s cooked all the way, you can keep the slow cooker on warm. Keep the lid on and the meat will stay warm. Stir it every so often. This is great for parties if you’re doing a taco bar.
  • How long does it keep?
  • Cooked beef (or ground turkey) will keep for three to four days in the refrigerator. Just keep it in an airtight container.
