Taco Soup

Some days, you just need something easy that will warm you up. Enter, Taco Soup. It's really just glorified chili with a Mexican flare. The soup itself serves as a vessel for chips, sour cream, and cheese. This is a go to meal on a weeknight in the winter when the evening is full of driving kids everywhere and having a ready made dish in a crock pot is the difference between heating up chicken nuggets or eating cereal for dinner. 

Ingredients
  • 16 oz. can chili beans
  • 16 oz. can kidney beans
  • 16 oz. can black beans
  • 8 oz. can tomato sauce
  • 15 oz. can diced stewed tomatoes
  • 16 oz. can whole corn
  • 1 pkg taco seasoning
  • 1 Tbsp chili powder
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 onion (chopped)
  • 1 sm. can chopped green chiles

Toppings
  • Tortilla Strips or Fritos
  • Grated Cheese
  • Sour Cream
  • Chives if so desired
Directions
  1. Open the cans, but don't drain the juice out (except for the corn, drain out that nasty corn juice and rinse it with water....no one wants the corn juice).
  2. Add all the ingredients (except the ground beef and onion) to a crock pot and add in the taco seasoning to the mix
  3. Brown the ground beef in a pan over medium heat and then add the onion until it softens.
  4. Add the beef and onion mixture to the soup in the crock pot.
  5. Simmer in the crock pot for a couple of hours.
  6. Serve it warm and garnish with shredded cheese, sour cream, tortilla strips or Fritos.
