Taco Soup

TACO SOUP

What you need:
2 lbs. ground beef
1 onion, chopped
2-3 cans dark red kidney beans
1 can corn
2-3 cans diced tomatoes (I use petite diced)
1 pkg. taco seasoning
1-2 beef bouillon cubes
1 Tbsp. chili powder
1 cup ketchup
water, to consistency
cheddar cheese, shredded
tortilla chips (we prefer Fritos)

How you do it:
Brown ground beef with onion.  Add taco seasoning and water according to package diretions.  Add beans, tomatoes, corn, bouillon cubes, chili powder, ketchup, and water (if needed for desired consistency).  Let simmer for at least 30 minutes.  Serve with cheese and chips.

How you freeze it:
Combine ingredients as in above directions.  Do not let simmer; instead, pour it all into a freezer ziploc bag (or more than one), lay flat in freezer and let freeze before standing on side for storage in freezer.  When ready to cook, let thaw in refrigerator overnight, pour into pot or crock-pot and let heat until warmed through.
