Slow Cooker Day: Taco Soup
Ingredients
1 pound ground turkey
1 can chili beans, with liquid
1 can kidney beans, with liquid
1 can whole kernel corn, with liquid
2 cans diced tomatoes
1 can tomato sauce
2 cups water
1 package of taco seasoning mix
In a medium skillet, cook the ground beef until browned over medium
heat. Drain & set aside. Place the ground beef, chili beans, kidney
beans, corn, tomato sauce, water, diced tomatoes, & taco seasoning
mix in a slow cooker. Mix to blend and cook on Low setting for eight
hours.
Serve alone or can be topped with shredded cheese & sour cream.
Thats the original recipe. I found it on this site http://momadvice.com/food/aldi_meal_plan3.aspx (wanting to give credit where credit is do)
I modified it alittle. I used ground beef as we aren't big fans of ground turkey. It was good and it made ALOT. It fed all 5 of us (DH, myself and my 3 alwaysgrowing, everhungry, hollowlegged teen boys) with leftovers to spare. The boys really enjoyed the sour cream and cheese toppings. Oh, and I crushed up a bag of "Frito" chips to add on top too. That was also a big hit. The only complaint I have is that it tastes more like chili and less like tacos. If I make it again, I don't think I'd use the chili beans and I'd add more taco seasoning. Maybe season the meat with a pack of taco flavor and then add another pack to the "broth".
