Tasty Tuesday-Taco soup!


Here is one of our all time favorite and EASY recipes to make! Everyone I make this for always asks for the recipe. And if my husband can make this...YOU can too!

Taco Soup!



Ingredients:
1TB olive oil
1/2 onion
1/2-1 green pepper
(you could throw in 1/2 a red or yellow pepper too)
*Chop the onion and green pepper pretty small and saute in olive oil over medium heat for about 3 minutes.

1 lb hamburger
*Throw in the hamburger and cook till browned.

*Add in 1/2 to full packet of taco seasoning
(add more to taste)

*Add the following and simmer for at least 20 min or in the crock pot for a couple hours:
1 can black beans
(drained and rinsed for all the beans)
1 can kidney
(You can also add 1 can pinto or white, if you need it to serve more...or really like beans)
1 can corn
(I usually drain about half the water...you could do more or less depending on the consistency you like)
1 can Rotel tomatoes
(I highly recommend using Rotel, but if you're out throw in a can of green chilies)
1 can diced tomatoes
1/4 cup of salsa
I can of 14 oz can of tomato sauce...or a 1/2 cup of water :)

Top with cheese and sour cream and Enjoy with Chips
Me and my husband eat the WHOLE bag in one sitting when I make this...just saying...it's that good!

  17. I wanted to let you know that I made this last night and it was DELICIOUS! I ended up using extra salsa in lieu of the Rotel or green chilies (my husband doesn't like spicy). I'm so glad you shared this recipe! Next time I'm making double so I can freeze half. Yum!
