Taco Chili

Fun with recipes!!!

This is an amazing recipe!  Especially on a cold, rainy day or when you just want something easy to make and be able to make use of your crock pot.  :-)
Good for parties, as it will feed many people.  Serve it up with some corn bread or french bread as well.  I've changed up this recipe several times by adding pretty much what I felt like adding.  I usually use what I have in the pantry, which is why this recipe is so great to use, because most of the time the majority (if not all) of the ingredients you will have in your house pantry.  Have fun with this recipe and ENJOY!!! :-)

Taco Chili

Ingredients


1 lb ground beef or turkey meat (I prefer turkey meat)
1 (15 ½-ounce) can pinto beans, drained 
1 (15 ½-ounce) can kidney beans, drained
1 (15 ½-ounce) can black beans, drained
1 (15 ¼-ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
2 (14 ½-ounce) cans diced tomatoes
1 (1 1/4-ounce) package taco seasoning mix (optional)
Corn chips, for serving
Sour cream, for garnish
Grated cheese, for garnish
Season to taste--I use a mixture of seasoning of pretty much whatever I feel like ;)  (thyme, oregano, bay leaves, basil) --variety is good! ;-) 


Directions
Brown the ground beef skillet and season meat; drain the excess fat, then transfer the browned beef to a large slow cooker or a stockpot. Add the beans, corn, tomatoes, taco seasoning and cook in a slow cooker on low for 6 to 8 hours or simmer over low heat for about 1 hour in a pot on the stove. To serve, place a few corn chips in each bowl and ladle soup over them. Top with sour cream, cheese.
