Easy Taco Soup

 Happy Hump Day, friends! I want to share one of my favorite recipes. If your family loves taco night, wait until you try this cozy twist--Taco Soup! It's everything you love about tacos (bold flavors, customizable toppings, and kid-approved goodness) but in a hearty, one pot meal that's ready in under 30 minutes. This recipe is perfect for busy weeknights, chilly evenings, or even when you're hosting friends and need something simple but crowd-pleasing. Bonus: it makes great leftovers, which means tomorrow's lunch is already taken care of!


Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef or ground turkey
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 can corn, drained
  • 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can Rotel
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade)
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning 
  • 2-3 cups chicken or beef broth (depending on how thick you like your soup)
Instructions
  1. In a large pot, brown the ground beef/turkey with the diced onion. Drain any excess grease.
  2. Add in the corn, beans, Rotel, taco seasoning, ranch seasoning, and broth. Stir well.
  3. Bring everything to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 20-25 minutes.
  4. Ladle into bowls and top with your family's favorite toppings.
Topping Ideas
Make it a build-your-own-bowl dinner! Set out toppings and let everyone customize:
  • Shredded cheddar cheese
  • Sour cream
  • Crushed tortilla chips
  • Avocado slices
  • Fresh cilantro
  • Lime wedges

This recipe is perfect for meal prepping. Double the batch and freeze half for a busy night when cooking just isn't on the agenda.
Grab a pot, gather your toppings, and get ready to make Taco Tuesday (or any night of the week) extra special!

Much Love,
Beth

What's Up Wednesday

 Happy What's Up Wednesday! Today I am linking up with  Shay  and  Sheaffer  for another "What's Up Wednesday" Let's do this! What we're eating this week... So far this week we have made: Wings on the Pit Boss Slow Cooker Pineapple Pork Chops You can't get any easier than wings and chops! Especially when they are on the grill and slow cooker!! What I'm Reminiscing About... Septembers past: September is Trey's birth month. It is also the month that my grandpa died four years ago. This is the year that Papa gave Trey a gun for his birthday. He was so proud to give it to Trey and you can tell by the look on Trey's face how happy he was. Such a sweet moment to remember. Our county fair is also in September. My kids used to love it when they were younger. They still love rides, just not the traveling kind :) This was Wrenley's school picture last year. She has grown so much in one year :) What I'm Loving... Makena and my mom have started mak...

Monday Morning Chit-Chat

  Happy Monday, friends! Well, here we are again. Another Monday morning, another fresh week, and another cup of coffee that I'm hoping will magically give me the energy to accomplish all the things on my to-do list. Spoiler alert: It probably won't. But I'm going to drink it anyway. I thought we would start this week with a little old-fashioned chit-chat. Nothing too serious, nothing life changing. Just a little catching up on life lately, a few random thoughts, and whatever else happens to pop into my head. you know, the kind of conversation we'd have if you stopped by my house, pulled up a chair, and stayed a while. So grab your coffee (or whatever gets you going in the morning), and let's visit. First things first...it's October! This year is absolutely flying by. I love this time of year. The cozy evenings, the fall decorations, the soups and comfort foods, and the excuse to stay home in my pajamas a little longer. Now if Arkansas could just get the memo t...

Friday Favorites

 Happy Friday, Friends! Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites. What a week it has been! Having picnics with Wrenley and Makena were pretty high up on my favorites list. She wanted a lunchable (big surprise there!) while Makena and I had tuna salad. Playing outside is a must with Wrenley! And she loves making sure the bird bath has plenty of water! Another thing on my favorites list is listening to Trey play the guitar. This smile is also my favorite! We had a celebration for my son-in-law, Caleb this week. He is a pretty great guy and we are thankful that he is "ours" now :)  He is my favorite son-in-law! As I was studying for my Gospel Project lesson earlier this week I realized we only have 3 more lessons! That means that summer break is just 3 weeks away (for our Wednesday night program)! Although I will still have to prepare lessons for Sunday School and VBS.  Summer is my favorite! This summer will be extra sp...
