The Ingredients:

• 2 cans kidney beans, drained & rinsed
• 2 cans pinto beans, drained & rinsed
• 2 cans corn, undrained
• 1 large can diced tomatoes, undrained
• 1 can of Rotel tomatoes, undrained
• 1 packet taco seasoning
• 1 packet ranch dressing mix
• 1 lb ground beef or turkey (optional)
• tortilla chips
• toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, lime wedges, 

The Directions:

Brown meat (if you're using meat... this soup is really good with or without it). 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 hours. The longer you cook it, the better it tastes! Stir well & serve with toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, tortilla chips & a squeeze of lime.
