Dinner is ready! October 8, 2009

It’s 7:45 am and dinner is ready. I love that! I am relying on my trusty, programmable Crock Pot to have dinner ready for us when we get home late. Crock pots are wonderful! I can program mine to cook for so many hours and then it switches over to “warm” mode that keeps my food in a safe temperature till we are ready to eat. Tonight we are having taco soup. I know pretty much everyone has a version of this meal in their recipe cards. Try it in your crock pot for an easy, no fuss meal.

Crock Pot Taco Soup

2 cans of any type of beans — Today I used pinto and kidney

2 cans diced tomatoes, drained

1 can shoe peg corn, drained

ground turkey breast, cooked

1 packet powdered ranch dressing

1 packet taco seasoning

3+ cloves of garlic, minced

1 onion diced

1. Line your crock pot with a liner for easier cleanup.

2. Dump everything in your crock pot and mix.

3. Cook on low for anywhere from 4-6 hours or on high for 2 hours.

4. Serve over baked chips or just with a little reduced fat cheese and fat free sour cream on top.

Variations: Add any type of veggie to the mix you would like. This would be great with shredded carrots.
