Taco Soup

I've seen quite a few variations of Taco Soup recipes.  This is one I've tried recently.  It is quick and easy...pretty much just dump the stuff in a big pot.  The last time I made this recipe I doubled it and froze several containers to have on hand for quick and easy lunches or dinners. 

Sadly, my picture does not do it justice.  But do you notice that my bowl matches the one in the cookbook?  I love my Gail Pittman polka dot bowls!






















Taco Soup
taken from Southern Living Ultimate Quick & Easy Cookbook

1 pound ground beef
2 cups water
1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
1 (16-ounce) jar medium picante sauce
1 (16-ounce) can pinto beans, undrained
1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (11-ounce) can yellow corn with red and green bell peppers, undrained
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can stewed tomatoes, undrained

Cook meat in a Dutch oven (or big pot!), stirring until it crumbles and is no longer pink; drain.  Return meat to your pot.
Add 2 cups water and next 6 ingredients; bring to a boil.  Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 12 minutes, stirring occasionally. 
Serve soup with tortilla chips.
Garnish with some shredded cheddar and sour cream, if desired.
