Taco Soup!

I love this recipe. I found it online in my search for easy peasy dinner recipes. I made a couple variations to make it easier and Ethan loves it. It's so quick and simple. Sounds like a thumbs up to me! I like to pair it with some Jiffy corn bread or saltine crackers. It's pretty much the best rainy day, souper filling meal out there. (Souper.. ahaha... I crack myself up.) On to the recipe!

Donnaven's Easy Peasy Taco Soup

1 lb ground beef (we use venison -- your preference)

1/4 diced onion

1 can diced tomatoes

1 can mild rotel

1 can chili beans

1 can black beans

1 can whole kernel corn

2 cups water

Approx. 1 1/2 tbs taco seasoning (We make our own -- view the recipe here!)

Put ground meat and a little bit of water in a relatively large pot -- big enough for a batch of soup. Turn on the heat and brown that sucker.

Once the meat is browned, add diced onion. Saute the onion until it's nice and cooked. Add the can of tomatoes. Don't drain them!

By now it should look something like this.

I usually add rotel at this point, but we didn't have any in stock. No worries, it'll still be tasty.

Sooo.. moving on to the next step!

Now you're going to add the undrained beans and corn. I love beans.

Stir it up really good! 

Now add the water and taco seasoning and turn your heat to medium low. It should simmer for about 15 minutes. Be patient.

Tada!! 

We put ours over brown rice and top it with cheese and it is DELICIOUS! Enjoy!

Here's the c&p version for your convenience. :)
