Mouthwatering Crock Pot Taco Soup

Here is a super easy crock pot taco soup recipe that you can throw together one evening, turn on the crock pot in the morning, and come home to a hearty dinner after work.  This does not take a lot time to prepare, probably 10 minutes or so.  Here are the ingredients:

1-2 lbs of ground beef, browned and drained 

(can also use ground turkey...amount of meat is your choice- how meaty do you want it?)

1 can of red kidney beans

1 can of Ranch beans

(it has a black label, with red lettering- be careful to read and make sure you get the original ones, unless you want super spicy red pepper beans like I bought on accident once...)

2 cans of corn (or 1 bag frozen corn)

1 can of Rotel (again, read label and buy accordingly- original, medium, or hot)

2 cans of stewed tomatoes

1 packet of taco seasoning

1 packet of ranch dressing dry mix

sour cream, shredded cheese, and chips for the toppings.

Brown your meat and drain it completely.  Basically, throw everything into the crock pot and stir well.  Do NOT drain any of the canned items. 

Cook on LOW for 6-8 hours...or longer if your work day is longer than 8 hours.  It won't ruin it if it cooks for 10ish hours, I promise.  Top with sour cream, shredded cheese, and tortilla chips.  Enjoy!
