Ingredients
- 2 lbs. ground beef (i always use 1)
- 2 cups diced onions
- 2 cans pinto beans
- 1 can kidney beans
- 1 can corn
- 1 can mexican style stewed tomatoes
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 1 can diced green chilis
- 1 can black olives, sliced (i leave this out)
- 1 package taco seasoning mix (TJ's sells it now... without MSG!)
- 1 pkg. ranch salad dressing mix (i get whole foods version, again... no MSG!)
- corn chips, sour cream, grated cheese as you wish...
Directions
Brown beef and onions in large skillet (or dutch oven). Drain excess fat unless it's a little grass-fed fat then it's all gooooood. Add beans, corn, tomatoes, chilis, olives, seasonings, and cook in slow cooker on low for 6 to 8 hours OR simmer over low heat for 1 hour in pot on stove.
Notes: 12 to 16 servings. This recipe is sort of the "whatever you have, use" kind of recipe, so if you don't have some of the following, NO big deal. I always have black beans on hand more often than other beans so I will use them instead of other beans it calls for... and sometimes I have all those types of tomatoes, sometimes i don't... it's seriously forgiving. Use what you have and it'll still be good.
