Taco Soup

Submitted by: Amy Taylor

Serves 12-18 (I made this before I had Mya, and we ate it for dinner that night and I split the rest into two freezer bags for later. It makes a lot!!!!)

2 lbs fresh lean ground beef
1 onion, coarsely chopped
1 (4 ounce) can green chilies
1 taco seasoning packet
1 ranch dip packet
2 (11 ounce) cans corn, undrained
4 (14 ounce) cans stewed tomatoes, undrained
1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans, undrained
1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, undrained
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
grated monterey jack cheese and/or cheddar cheese

1. Brown meat with onions in 8 quart stockpot then drain any grease
2. When cooked all the way through, add remaining ingredients and cook over medium heat for 30 minutes.
3. Eat now if you are not freezing. Serve with grated cheese, sour cream, tortilla chips, etc.
4. If freezing, let cool completely and pour into freezer bags. Mark bags with date and directions to Reheat to Serve.
5. Let bag partially thaw, enough to get it out of the bag and then heat over low until warmed through.
