With the cooler and cooler weather I like to have good hot meals. Taco soup is one of my favorite things to make on days like this. Not only is it quick and easy, but it also makes a great meal.

Ingredients:

1 pound burger

1 can of chicken broth

1 cup of water

1 can of Mexican corn

1 can of black beans

1 packet ranch seasoning mix

1 packet taco seasoning mix

1 8-oz package shredded Cheddar cheese

1 8-ounce cup sour cream

1 bag of Fritos

Preparation:

Brown the burger meat in a large skillet over medium heat. Chop the meat as it browns. When fully cooked, drain any excess fat and place the burger meat in a large pot. Next, open your can of black beans and pour them into a bowel. Take a fork and mash the beans a bit. Do not drain the beans because it will take away the flavor. Once you have shredded your media for them in the kettle with your burger meat. Then, open your cans of Mexican Corn and Chicken Broth and add them to your cauldron with your burger and black beans. Next, add your cup of water, taco seasoning mix, and ranch seasoning mix. Once you have these ingredients in your kettle, give everything a stir. Now bring the soup to a boil. Reduce heat to low and continue cooking for about 10 minutes. For soup over Frito’s in individual bowls. Garnish with desired amount of sour cream and cheese.
