On BMIM's Facebook wall I posted that our family has a tradition that we have Taco Soup for dinner every Halloween. Several of you asked for the recipe, so I decided to post it as today's recipe.
My grandmother gave me this recipe years ago & I have been making it for years. It is insanely easy to make & you can do it on the stove or in the crock pot (although you will need to brown the ground beef first). I always make a double batch & freeze half! This recipe feeds 4 heartily!
Taco Soup
- 1 lb. ground beef (I've used ground turkey & even veggie ground beef as well)
- 1 package taco seasoning mix
- 1 28 oz can tomatoes
- 1 16 oz can kidney beans
- 1 16 oz can corn
- 1 4 oz can chopped green chile peppers (I omit this!)
- 1 4 oz can sliced black olives
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- Misc. taco toppings such as sour cream, guacamole, diced tomatoes, tortilla chips, etc.
Brown meat & add onions & cook until the onions are clear. Add the taco seasoning mix according to directions on package. Add next 5 ingredients & simmer at least 30 minutes.
Crush some tortilla chips into bowl & ladle the soup over. Top with whatever you like & enjoy!
Sounds good. No water in that? Is it more of a stew than a soup?
ReplyDeleteYou add the liquid from all the canned ingredients. It is more soupy the first day; leftovers (like the photo above) tend to be a bit more stew like. Both ways rock, however!
ReplyDeleteYummy! That is going on next week's menu!
ReplyDeleteLet me know what you think of it!

ReplyDeletefor the 28oz can of tomatoes did you use diced or whole tomatoes?
ReplyDeleteI use diced. I suppose you could use whole, but it might be a bit more work for eating (breaking them into bite size pieces).
