Cook and crumble the ground beef on a skillet on the stove top. Drain the grease if any, add the ground beef to the slow cooker.
Add the pinto beans, salsa, corn, olives, ranch seasoning mix, taco seasoning and water to the slow cooker with the beef. Stir.
Cook on HIGH for 3-4 hours or LOW for 6-8 hours.
Serve with desired topping and enjoy!
Notes
Can I freeze this?Pour the remaining soup into an airtight container (or bag) and place it in your freezer. It will keep for 3+ months (don't forget to add the cook date).Can I make this spicy?To get a spicier soup, choose hot taco seasoning mix, add a can of hot green chiles, and/or add some hot sauce like Cholula.How can I make this healthy?Use a very lean ground beef, 4% fat if you can find it. The toppings actually contain more calories than the soup; skip the high-fat toppings such as cheese, chips, and sour cream and opt for crunchy onions instead.
