Taco Soup

Ingredients:

2 lbs ground beef (I use the leanest possible)

1 (1.25) package taco seasoning

1 1/2 cups water

1 (15 oz) can mild chili beans

1 (15.25 oz) can whole kernel corn, drained

1 (15 oz) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained

1 (14.5 oz) can stewed tomatoes

1 (10 oz) can rotel-mild

1 (4 oz) can chopped green chilies

1 (1 oz) package ranch salad dressing mix

I'll admit it...I'm not a huge fan of food that comes out of a can. If I need to use it, I'll try to find an organic version of it. I made this at my mom's house so I used what she had on hand. It's still soo good!

While the ground beef is cooking, I go ahead and drain the corn and pinto beans, and add everything {except taco seasoning} together in a big pot!

After the meat is cooked, drained and rinsed, I add the taco seasoning to the meat and cook according to directions.

Then I add the water and meat to the rest of the ingredients. Simmer uncovered for 15 minutes. Stir occasionally.

{I made double!}

That's it! It's so easy but so good!

I like to add sour cream and cheese to mine. Yum! :)
