Taco Soup






Taco Soup

I actually combined several recipes into one that I thought would be enjoyed the most by my family.

1 pound lean ground beef
1 medium onion, diced
1 can pinto beans
1 can black beans
1 can rotel tomatoes
1 can corn, drained
1 can fire roasted diced tomatoes
1 packet ranch dressing mix
1 packet taco seasoning mix
4 cups of water

Toppings:
sour cream
grated cheddar cheese
Fritos

Brown and drain the ground beef. Add the onion to the pan and sautee until translucent. Drain and rinse the pinto and black beans. Mix the beef, onion, beans, tomatoes, corn, ranch dressing mix, taco seasoning, and water into a crock pot or large stock pot. Either cook for about 30 minutes on the stove or you can cook in the crock pot on low for 8-9 hours. Serve with Fritos, cheese and a dollop of sour cream... or anything you wish. You could also serve with some green onions as well.

You can freeze in individual containers - or put in a gallon sized freezer baggie and lay flat on a cookie sheet in the freezer until frozen. That way it takes up very little room in your freezer.
