Posts Tagged ‘Taco’

This is one of those recipes that I’ve adapted to our own tastes. We love frozen corn so I put more corn than most recipes call for. DH doesn’t like kidney beans so I use black beans. Also, with the ground meat, this sounds gross but I boil mine first, then drain it, let it cool, crumble it and brown it with a little oil. I like my ground meat in soups/stews to be real crumbly with no big chunks.

This soup freezes very nicely.

Taco Soup

2 lb. ground meat, browned and drained
16 oz. frozen corn
2 cans black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can Rotel tomatoes
1 – 2 cans crushed tomatoes (depending on your preference)
1 can chicken broth
1 cup water
1 package Taco seasoning mix
1 package Ranch dressing mix

Dump everything in the crockpot and cook 8 – 10 hours on low. Add more water if necessary to get the consistency desired.  Or, simmer on top of the stove for an hour or so.

We serve it with grated cheese and tortilla chips. I add a spoonful of sour cream to my bowl also.
