Taco Soup

This is a meal that is easy to make and very quick. I love to make this especially during the winter but will make it all year long. Plus the chips and cheese make a instant kid favorite. The best part is that it can be made all in the same pot or started early and made in the crock pot. You will have to cook the meat though before adding it to the pot if you use the crock pot. Then cook on high for 6-8 hours on low for 8-10 hours. Some people will substitute the canned diced tomatoes with only tomato sauce or will use tomato juice. Also this Freezes great and makes a ton.

Ingredients:
1 lb ground hamburger
1 small onion diced
2Tbs minced garlic
1 can tomato sauce
2 cans diced tomatoes
2 cans pinto beans
2 cans black beans
1 can light red kidney beans
1 can corn (optional)
2 packets taco seasoning
sour cream
shredded cheddar cheese
2 bags Frito's or tortilla chips
shredded lettuce(optional)

Directions:
In a large pot brown hamburger on stove. Add half onion to hamburger, cook until onion is clear. Next add canned beans and tomatoes(corn if you like). Add taco seasoning. Allow to cook for at least 1/2 hour on medium high. Then add the other half onion and allow to simmer for 15 minutes. When ready to serve top with sour cream, cheese, and chips. Enjoy!
