Taco Soup

Lately it seems like we have been unusually pounded by old man winter.  This week was possibly the worst for our small town who sees a couple inches once or twice a year.  This time we had a solid 1/2" of ice on top of our 6" of snow.  For most people it isn't a big deal, but our entire town was shut down.  Finally on Wednesday I was able to get out of the house and it's a good thing because I was getting a serious case of cabin fever.  I ventured out to get groceries and the ingredients for some Taco Soup that I had been craving for 2 weeks.  I couldn't exactly remember the recipe because my roomies used to cook it for me in college...so I just did my best and it was amazing.

Ingredients:
2 pounds ground beef
1 medium onion
1 can- stewed tomatoes
1 can- Rotel Tomatoes
1 can- Chili beans
1 can- Kidney Beans
1 can- Pinto Beans
1 pkg Ranch Dressing Mix
1 pkg Taco Seasoning
2 cups of water
Sour Cream
Cheese
Frito's

Chop up your onion and then ground beef and onion in a skillet.
While that is browning, dump all of your remaining ingredients into a crock pot and stir.
Once the beef and onion has browned, add to crock pot and stir soup. 
Let ingredients warm for 1hr 30min.
Serve with a dollop of Sour Cream, Cheese and Frito's.

Serves 6-10 and cost around $20.
