taco soup

the weather has been nuts lately. one week we have seventy degree days and the next it's chilly and in the fifties. with the cold blowing in this weekend i felt it would be the perfect time to throw together some taco soup! (i must credit my mom for this yummy recipe)

 all of my ingredients

 brown the meat, onions, and jalapenos in the pot you're going to cook the soup in (less clean up)

 dump all of the other ingredients into the pot and mix together

 let cook on low/simmer no less than 1 hour (i left mine for like 3 hours)

i enjoy mine with a little sour cream and cheese (you can never have too much cheese)


taco soup

2 lbs hamburger (i used ground turkey - could also use shredded chicken)
1 onion
2 packs of ranch dip mix
2 packs of taco seasoning mix
2 cans of kidney beans
2 cans of black beans
2 cans of corn
2 large cans of petite diced tomatoes
2 cans of rotel
1 large can of tomato sauce

brown hamburger/turkey (if you use shredded chicken then cook the onion and jalapenos and mix the chicken in with everything else). add remaining ingredients and simmer for 1 hour or longer.

serve with graded cheese, sour cream, and tortilla chips. enjoy!

*if you are not a fan of spicy food, then you can use mild rotel and leave out the jalapenos. however, if you like it hot, use hot rotel and hot & spicy taco seasoning. 

now with our happy, full tummies maybe i can get marc to help me finalize our wedding guest list!
