Taco Soup

This is a staple in our house.  I can easily keep all of the ingredients on hand and even precook the chopped meat and freeze it so it's a GREAT recipe to dump into the crockpot on a busy morning and let it cook all day.  :)

Taco Soup

1 lb. ground beef

1 onion, chopped

1 (16 oz) can chili beans, with liquid

1 (15 oz.) can kidney beans, with liquid

1 (15 oz.) can corn, with liquid

1 (8 oz.) can tomato paste

2 cups water

2 (14.5 oz) can peeled and diced tomatoes

1 (4 oz.) can diced green chile peppers

1 (1.25 oz.) package taco seasoning mix

1.  In a medium skillet, cook the ground beef and onions until browned over medium heat.  Drain, set aside.

2.  Place the ground beef, onion, chili beans, kidney beans, corn, tomato sauce, water, diced tomatoes, green chile peppers and taco seasoning mix in a slow cooker.  Mix to blend, and cook on LOW setting for 8 hours.

Serve with corn chips, tortilla chips, sour cream, cheddar cheese or whatever else you like.
