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

Friday Favorites

Happy Friday, friends! We made it through another week here on the homestead. Today, I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites :) This week has flown by! On Monday, Wrenley started her new "school year" at daycare. Even though she is in the same school with a lot of the same kids, she moved up and is now officially in PreK! She has had to adjust to new teachers, but seems to like it so far :) She is BeBe's big girl! 💓💓💓 At the beginning of the week, Carl asked if Makena and I wanted to go with him and Trey put some corn and salt blocks out for the deer. Say less, sir! Of course, our answer was yes :) Our chariot and driver Trey and Maggie Hopefully, our hard work pays off! Also came across this guy. He was around 5 ft. long and had 14 rattlers. Don't ask how I know that 😟 We always have a good time when we hang out with our guys, and that is most certainly a favorite! Watching my girl do her thing at work will always be my favorite!...

Red Flags: Guarding Our Hearts & Our Churches

 Scripture tells us that shepherds are entrusted with God's flock, no for selfish gain but "being examples to the flock" (1 Peter 5:3). A pastor's calling is a holy one, rooted in humility, sacrifice, and love. But Jesus also warned that not every shepherd has pure intentions--some are "wolves in sheep's clothing" (Matthew 7:15).  As believers, we must stay discerning. Here are some red flags to watch out for in pastors: 1.  Special Treatment for Certain Families  James warns against showing partiality (James 2:1-4), yet some pastors cater to certain families, wealthy donors, or influential members while neglecting the rest of the body. Christ doesn't play favorites--every soul in the church matters equally to Him. A true shepherd cares for the unnoticed as much as the well-known. 2. Neglecting the Brokenhearted  Jesus came to heal the brokenhearted (Luke 4:18), but a pastor who avoids the messy, hurting, or less "influential" people in th...

Friday Favorites

 Happy Friday, friends! Today I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites. This is going to be a rapid-fire Friday favorites because it is getting late and I have to wake up extra early to pick up a special little girl :) The said little girl! Nobody ever told me how much you love your grandbabies! Spending time with Wrenley is always one of my favorites💗 Another one of my favorite things is watching Makena present. This time she was on her "home turf". She did a presentation on The Stuttgart Army Airfield for a historical group at our community center. They had their biggest turnout for a meeting because Makena has so many people who support her and love her. We are thankful for everyone who came. Of course she did a great job. I'm always proud of her. It is always a favorite any time I get a video or picture of my grandson, Wesley. I can't wait until June! My gentle giant, Boone, wanting to do his favorite thing: GO OUTSIDE! Makena ...
