taco soup recipe

During my last semester of college, my three roommates (Jamie, Kylie, Blair) and I would have weekly 'family' dinners.  Every thursday, no matter what, we would take turns cooking, sit down to eat together and then watch the OC...yep, we were huge dorks fans.  These dinners are some of my fondest memories.  I'm pretty sure I learned to make taco soup from Kylie when it was her night to cook...thanks kylie!

This soup is one of our favorite meals when the weather starts to turn and it can literally last for three or four meals...amazing.  Even better...it is super easy!

2 cans black beans
2 cans Rotel
2 cans corn
2 packages Ranch seasoning
2 packages taco seasoning
1 package of ground beef

All you do is brown the beef first and then mix it all together.  I sometimes like to add a can of ranch beans or extra corn if I need to feed a few more people.  I have also made it with chicken...I actually almost like it better with chicken, but that doesn't usually fly with Brady:).

Enjoy!
