Tasty Tuesday: Slow Cooker Taco Soup

Trying new recipes is always fun & it's even better when someone else has already made sure it's good! So every Tuesday, we're going to share a new recipe from the kitchen of one of our MOPS mamas.

Please send your favorite recipes to me at sarahrettew@gmail.com or via facebook, & I'll put them in the line-up to be highlighted on "Tasty Tuesday"!

This week's recipe for Slow Cooker Taco Soup is from the kitchen of Emily. Looks super-yum for a chilly fall evening! 

The Ingredients:

• 2 cans of kidney beans
• 2 cans of pinto beans
• 2 cans of corn
• 1 large can of diced tomatoes
• 1 can of tomatoes & chiles
• 1 packet of taco seasoning
• 1 packet of ranch dressing mix
• 1 lb of ground beef or turkey (optional)
• shredded cheese & sour cream for toppings

The Directions:

Brown meat. Drain fat & add meat to crockpot. Sprinkle taco & ranch seasoning packets on top of meat. Drain & rinse beans, then add to crockpot. Add UNDRAINED corn & tomatoes to crockpot. Stir.

Cover & cook on low for 8-10 hours or high for 4-5. The longer you cook it, the better it tastes, so opt for the "low for 8-10 hrs" if possible. Stir well & serve with shredded cheese & a dollop of sour cream.
