TACO BEAN SOUP
 
Brown 2 lbs. of meat with onion.  Drain fat.  In large soup pot, add:
 
1 can black beans
1 can pinto beans with jalapenos
1 can navy or butter beans (even ranch style beans are fine)
1 can corn or hominy
2 cans Rotel tomatoes
4 oz green chilies
1 package dry ranch dressing
1 package taco seasoning mix
 
Mix all together with the browned meat.  If you like it spicier, you can add another package of taco seasoning mix.  You can substitute 1 can diced tomatoes with 1 can of Rotel instead of 2 cans of Rotel if you think it might be too spicy.  You can use whatever beans your family prefers.  No need to add salt or pepper.  Add enough water to have as thick or thin, as you prefer.  Great served with grated cheese on top.  serve with cornbread or crackers.  Freezes well.
