Taco Soup

Serves 8

1 pound lean ground chuck (or turkey)
1½ cups chopped sweet onion
1 cup chopped green bell pepper
2 cups frozen cut corn
1 (16 ounce) can pinto beans
1 (16 ounce) can kidney beans
1 (16-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 can original Ro-Tel tomatoes
1 packet Taco Seasoning mix
1 package dry Ranch mix
1½ cups water

In a heavy skillet, brown the meat with the onions and peppers. Drain off any extra grease. To scoop off extra grease, I push the browned meat and veggies to one side, tilt the skillet and dab with bunched-up paper towels. Put it in your crock pot and add all the remaining ingredients. Stir, cover and let everything simmer on high for an hour. Stir it again and turn the temp to low. Allow the mixture to simmer on low for 2-3 hours. Serve with tortilla chips, dollop of sour cream, sliced green onions and/or shredded sharp Cheddar cheese.
