taco soup

I was sure I had put this up on the blog already.. but my sister is looking for the recipe, and can't find it on here.. so even though I didn't make this TODAY - i will share it with you.

taco soup:

1 can black beans
1 pkg taco seasoning
ground beef (I normally use about 6 or 7 dollars worth of regular lean beef)

1 can corn

2 cans pork & beans

2 cans tomato paste

water (i normally fill each can of tomato paste with water after i've emptied it, and then add water if it's too thick later)

1 medium onion chopped

directions:

brown the ground beef till no red is left. chop an onion and add it to the meat to sauté slightly. it will soften as it cooks later, so don't sauté it too long. 

put beef & onions as well as all the other ingredients listed above into a slow cooker and cook all day. the longer you cook it, the thicker and richer it gets. since the beef is cooked, you can eat it at anytime, but i still like to have it in the slow cooker for a few hours to add to the flavour.

add water if it's too thick. also, add salt & pepper to taste.

to serve:

scoop over crushed up tortilla chips, or top with crushed chips. also, top with grated cheese, and/or sour cream.

VERY TASTY!

enjoy :)
