Taco Soup

This "soup" is more like mexican chili  :)    My husbands family made it growing up and then we started making it once we moved in together in college (and have been making it ever since!).  There are TONS of different ways to make this, and if you leave out one of the ingredients it is still super tasty.  That's why I love this, you can change it every single time you make it and it still sort of tastes the same!  I have left out a can of beans or two before, and once we went to a cabin for the weekend and I forgot to bring the taco seasoning and ranch mix and it STILL TASTED DELICIOUS!  Oh, and if your a terrible cook, you can make this and seem like a genius!


Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
1 pkg ranch mix (found by the salad dressings)
1 pkg taco seasoning
1 can corn (white corn if you have it) (juices drained)
1-2 cans light kidney beans (juices drained)
1-2 cans dark kidney beans (juices drained)
1 can rotel (original works best, do NOT drain juices)
1 can green chili's (undrained)
1 (25-29 oz) can crushed tomatoes (undrained)
1 medium sized can tomato sauce
2 cans Bush's chili beans (undrained)

Directions:
*Cook meat in a skillet on the stove until cooked through.

*Add all the ingredients into a big pot on the stove.


*Cook on medium heat about 7-10 minutes until heated through.

*Yup, its that easy and its SO good!  We serve ours with sour cream and shredded cheese on top!

NOTE:  Since its quite spicy for a baby, simply put the taco soup into a strainer, then run water over it to take the spice off.  The little chum's are left with all the yummy inside pieces without too much spice.  Wyatt loved it!
