Taco Soup

Taco Soup

Adapted From: Country Ground Beef Cookbook

When my kids ask, "What's for dinner?", they are always thrilled when I tell them its Taco Soup! Once you stir in LOTS of sour cream, cheddar cheese, and add the crunchy chips - that's when the magic happens for me. {wink wink} It's super creamy and super delicious!

Ingredients:

1 pound ground beef
1 (1 1/4-ounce) envelope taco seasoning
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can stewed tomatoes, undrained
1 (15-ounce) can light red kidney beans, undrained
1 cup water

Toppings:

cheddar cheese, shredded
green onions, sliced
sour cream
corn chips or tortilla chips

Preparation:

Stove top: Cook ground beef in a large pot. Stir in taco seasoning, stewed tomatoes, kidney beans, and water; bring to a boil. Serve in individual bowls and garnish with toppings.

Crock pot: Brown ground beef in a frying pan. Place cooked meat into the crock pot; stir in taco seasoning, stewed tomatoes, kidney beans, and water. Cook on low for 2-3 hours, or until heated through. Serve in individual bowls and garnish with toppings.
