Terrible Me- Taco Edition

Could I be anymore terrible?  I don't blog when I say that I am going to?  I leave you without your fill of Tiny Chocolates and expect for things to just be okay?!?  You don't have time for my excuses so I will just jump into the good things!!!

Last week I cooked some Taco Soup!!!  The weather man has reassured me that the weather will not be warmer any longer! YIKES!!!  So I took advantage of this and made some soup!  The recipe is from my Mimi's daughter who is a friend of mine!  Her name is La La and she is the sweetest person (just like her mama)! 
Ingredients
~1 1/2 lbs of hamburger meat ( I use ground turkey)
~1 can of rotel (I used mild)
~1 can of diced tomatoes (optional)
~1 chopped onion (I used a sweet onion)
~1 can whole kernel corn
~2 can Ranch style beans
~1 can chopped green chilli's (optional)
~1 package ranch dressing mix
~1 package taco seasoning mix
~2 cups of water

Directions
Brown meat and drain.  Mix together all ingredients together in pan and boil.  (I did not drain any of the canned goods.  I dumped everything in a BIG pot). 

The soup  was very yummy and tasty!  It had a tad bit of spice to it but it was perfect!!! I would be great served with some Frito chips and cheese.  I substituted the Frito's for Tortilla chips (do you know that Frito's are kind of expensive these days!?!)  This recipe has been on my fridge for over 2 years!  So glad that I finally got a chance to use it!!! 

I begin traveling on Thursday... 1 trip for business and two for pleasure!!!  Can't wait to tell you more about that later!!!
