Hi everyone! Due to some recent health concerns in our family, I'm totally having to change the way I cook. However, I'm still going to be making the same meals so if you like them, still use them. I'll just be mentioning how I'm changing them to work for us but I'll leave the recipes themselves alone! However, with this, I'm having to end dessert Friday. I'm changing it to once a month! My 7 year old was very sad but he's dealing with it! LOL
Tomorrow we are having Taco Soup for dinner. I love Taco Soup! This is really good served with taco toppings on top like crushed up tortilla chips, sour cream and olives. This recipe is pretty simple. I'm going to use 93% lean ground beef or ground turkey breast depening on which is more affordable when I shop.
Taco Soup With Meat
(flows)
Makes 12 cups - 3 points per cup
1 lb ground turkey (lean) or extra lean ground beef or cubed chicken
1 envelope dry taco seasoning
1 envelope ranch dressing mix (dry)
1 can corn
1 can stewed tomatoes
1 can black beans
1 can pinto beans
1 can ranch style beans
While you brown the meat in one pan, combine and heat all other ingredients in a large pot (drain all cans except for ranch style beans). Once the meat is browned and drained add to large pot. When it's at the desired temperature, serve and enjoy! Consistency is very thick. For thinner variety don't drain cans or add a bit of water at the end.

ps. Thanks Nadine for telling me about her site!!
Taco Soup with Meat - This was great! I made it with ground turkey breast and I used 2 cans of kidney beans instead of the black beans and ranch beans. Everything else I followed as directed. My kids loved this! My 7 year old said "for sure make again!" I topped theirs with some sour cream and crushed tortilla chips. I topped mine with some Frank's Red Hot Sauce, yum! This is nice and healthy and I'm pretty sure a Core meal if you're doing WW!
Hi Amy,
I looooove this recipe - i've been using a similar one a friend gave me in December. It's a hit! Perfect for the winter - healthy comfort food. Good for the crockpot, too.
Note for people who (like me) hate tomato chunks: I put a can of diced tomatoes in the food processor until smooth and then dump it in with everything else.
"Everything else": lean ground beef, three cans kidney beans, one can corn, one can tomato sauce, taco spices (cumin, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder).
Thanks, this is great!
Another good one. I used turkey breast and left out the ranch beans. Did everything else per the recipie. (forgot to look for ranch beans)I did top mine with sour cream. It was very good.
