Taco Soup Recipe- My friend Kate"s yummy recipe

Brown 1 pound ground beef along with 1 large chopped onion.

You can cook the following ingredients in a crock-pot all day on low or you can heat on the stovetop (bring to a boil, and then let simmer for at least 30 minutes).

1 large can chopped tomatoes

2 cans of kidney beans

1 package Taco Seasoning

2 small cans tomato sauce

2-4 cups of water, depending on desired thickness… I use 2 cups

Add Browned beef and sautéed onion,

*Serve along with sour cream, shredded cheese, avocado, and tortilla chips.

(This recipe is flexible, feel free to substitute kind of beans, or add anything you like… I have heard corn is good in it, but haven’t tried it. We love tomatoes, but aren’t crazy about beans, so I use one can of Kidney beans and two large cans of tomatoes.
