Crock Pot Taco Soup

It was freezing today. Okay, maybe not that cold, but cold enough for Oklahoma and for myself and for my poor toes. I wanted something warm when I woke up so I started thumbing through old recipe collections and found the BEST Taco Soup recipe. It hit the spot! Once again, I invited the use of the crock pot and she worked wonders! Add in Frito's for a scooping supply and some additional flavors and we were set. Dinner was delicious!



Ingredients:

1 pound lean ground beef
1 sweet onion, diced
1 -12 oz can kidney beans
1 -12 oz can black beans
1 - 12 oz can whole kernel corn, drained
1 - 10 oz can tomato sauce
1 envelope taco seasoning
(homemade is better to avoid MSG)
3 Tablespoons ranch dressing
Salt & Pepper
Sour Cream (optional)
Cheddar Cheese (optional)


Directions:

Brown the ground beef and onions in a pan with olive oil. Once it's finished, put it into the crock pot. 
Add remaining ingredients and stir. Turn on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3.
We love adding in some sour cream & cheddar cheese to our individual bowls than scooping it up with 
Frito's. Dipping Frito's in our Chili and Taco Soups was a family favorite growing up.
