Crock-Pot Taco Soup

Ingredients

• 2 (15 ounce) cans kidney beans

• 2 (15 ounce) cans pinto beans

• 1 (15 ounce) can black beans

• 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes

• 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can tomatoes and green chilies

• 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
• 3/4 cup water
• 7 teaspoons taco seasoning (1 packet see recipe for substitute)
• 1 lb browned ground beef (optional)

Directions

1. 1

   brown meat if you are going to use it.

2. 2

   drain fat and add meat to crock pot.

3. 3

   sprinkle seasoning packet on top of meat.

4. 4

   drain and rinse the beans and add the ENTIRE contents of the tomatoes, water, & sauce

5. 5

   cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-5. The longer you cook soup, the better, so if time, opt for cooking on low.

6. 6

   serve with a handful of shredded cheese and a dollop of sour cream (optional).

7. 7

   I like to serve ours with biscuits because of a corn allergy in our house. You could serve w/ tortilla chips.

8. 8

   Another option is to omit the water and 1 can of beans and use 2 large cans of corn w/ juice instead.

9. 9

   If you like your soup spicy use the hotter Ro*tel type tomatoes and chilies.
