Taco Soup
Taco Soup - Phase I
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My family loves Taco Soup so I kinda made up our own version of it for Phase I. Here it is:
1 lb lean ground beef
2 cans rotel tomatoes OR diced tomatoes without chilies
2 cans kidney beans
2 can green beans
(Any types of beans on the Phase I list will work - to your taste)
Taco seasoning package
Water as needed
Diced onion
Minced garlic
Brown ground beef with onion and garlic until beef looses pink color and onion is tender or translucent. Drain, (if needed). Add taco seasoning and 3/4 cup water, cook for about 4-5 minutes until water is nearly evaporated. Pour meat mixture into large pot. Add tomatoes and beans and water and mix together. Season further to your taste. I added a little more chili powder, black pepper, cumin. Since we are from TEXAS we like it on the hotter side. But if you don't like it hot, add plain diced tomatoes, instead.
Cover and cook on medium heat about 20 minutes stirring occasionally. Serve and enjoy.
This can be doubled very easily and kept refrigerated for a quick lunch or supper. Also freezes well. Just be creative and add what you like. On Phase 2~ You can add a can or two of corn, pinto beans, etc...
