Mom Petersen’s Taco Soup
Serves 10-12 people
INGREDIENTS:
1 lb. ground beef
1 onion chopped
2- 15oz. cans of stewed tomatoes
2 cans vegetable beef soup
1 can tomato soup
2 cans kidney beans undrained
1 Tbsp. taco seasoning
1 Tbsp. Chili powder
2 c. Salsa
½ c. catsup
INSTRUCTIONS:
1-In a frying pan brown ground beef and onion seasoning with salt and pepper as you go. When fully cooked, place in a colander over a larger bowl and then rinse beef with hot water (allowing bowl underneath to catch greasy water). Discard greasy water outside or allow to cool then skim off fat and discard in garbage.
2- Combine cooked meat along with the rest of ingredients in a large soup pot and simmer on med-low until heated through.
3- Serve with Nacho flavor Doritos, cheese, sour cream and green onions.
NOTES:
-I’ve tasted many taco soup recipes over the years and this one, by my mother-in-law, is still my favorite. It’s easy and delicious.
-This recipe can easily be made in a crock pot by putting cooked ground beef with all the other ingredients in crockpot and putting on the setting that best fits your time table. With ground beef already cooked all it needs to do is warm through.
