Recipe: Taco Soup

I adopted this great little recipe from my friend, Alison, after I virtually hog-tied and guilted her into finally sharing it with me.  You'll be glad I did, though, because now I can share it with you.  Yum.  Even better, it's good (and easy!) for when you need to feed a crowd.

Taco Soup

1. Brown together and drain:

• 1 lb. hamburger
• 1 onion, chopped ( I used minced onion)

2. Add to hamburger mixture:

• 1 pkg. Hidden Valley Ranch dressing
• 1 pkg. taco seasoning

3. Put in crockpot and add, w/o draining:

• 1 can pinto beans
• 1 can ranch style beans (find at Publix, black can)
• 1 can whole kernel corn
• 1 can stewed tomatoes (I'll use diced tomatoes next time)
• 1 can rotel
• 1 can black beans

4. Heat on low for about 4 hours and serve with all the fixins - sour cream, fritos, cheese, cornbread. :)
