Taco Soup!

Okay, here is something that is totally worth blogging about...food!

i found this recipe from my church's cookbook -- it's called Taco Soup. I've made it a couple times and it is AMAZZZING. i thought i'd share the recipe because it's totally easy, it just has a ton of ingredients.

1 (16oz) bag of mexican shredded cheese (i use the habanero kroger brand kind)

1.5 lbs ground beef

1 clove garlic

1 medium onion chopped

2 cans (small-ish ones) rotel (mild)

2 cans corn

1 small-ish can black beans

1 package taco seasoning

1 package hidden valley ranch dry mix stuff

2 packages swanson chicken broth (like those square looking things)...

1. cook the meat & drain (frying pan)

2. add onion and garlic with the meat in the pan and simmer (frying pan)

3. big pot- add meat/onion/garlic mixture

- chicken broth

- taco seasoning

- ranch mix

- corn

-beans

-rotel

4. head to simmer for 20 minutes (covered)

5. add the cheese & let it melt in....then serve!!!

serve it with Tostitos "Dippin Strips" Chips!!! (they are perfect for dipping :)

it's yum & quick!
