Comments

I will soon be adding a new addition to my blog. Some friends and I am going to start making menus with shopping lists. If you would like to join our little party and add some recipes please comment below and let me know. This will save a lot of time for everyone and give us a variety of dishes. I think it will be a lot of fun. I will first be placing a pantry list after receiving recipes and then a list for each week. Five meals will allow you to adjust things and still have your family favorites. Lets Cook!!

Taco Soup
(we found the basic recipe in the Freedom cookbook. It has just the right amount of spice. Might want to adjust according to your families preference. I did make a few other little changes. Its great! Makes a good size pot. )

1 onion, chopped
3-4 cloves garlic (chopped fine and cooked in hot olive oil for about 45 seconds or so)
1-1/2 lbs cooked hamburger
1 28 oz can your choice of tomatoes (we like petite diced with chiles)
4 sm cans tomato sauce + one can water
1 15 oz can whole kernel corn
1 can kidney beans or red beans
1 pkg taco seasoning or about 1 -2 Tbs
1 can chiles (if you use tomatoes with chiles that should be enough
1 Anahiem pepper, chopped fine (optional)
1 15 oz can of chili beans
salt and pepper to taste

Mix altogether and enjoy. After it is hot, turn down to low and cook for about 15-20 min. This would work great in a crock pot. Cook on high until hot, turn to low and cook 2-4 hours.
