So, tonight I tried a recipe I’ve heard people rave about on a few recipe blogs: taco soup. The great thing about this recipe is that it is soooo easy. Basically, the main work involves having a clean pan and pot, browning some ground beef and opening a bunch of cans and dumping a bunch of things into a pot. And you can make enough with this recipe to have lots of leftovers, which means less cooking later in the week (or some tasty lunches)!
Now I’m no master chef (you know those people on allrecipes.com who take a recipe and make a whole bunch of changes to make it better? I’m not one of them, lol), but I made some changes that make this recipe quick and easy and give you more food. Instead of cooking my own beans (lol), I used canned ones, thoroughly rinsed. I used canned corn instead of fresh (you could also use frozen corn). I also added more beans, tomatoes, and rice so that we would have more leftovers.
I had never had taco soup before, but seeing the recipe, I was sure that it would be tasty, and it was. It turned out great – and was even husband approved!
Mine was more of a chili than a soup in the end, but if you added more water I expect that you could make it more soup-like. I served it with sour cream, shredded cheese, and tortilla chips.
Here is the link to the recipe I used (from the blog $5 dinners): http://www.5dollardinners.com/2008/08/taco-soup-and-sweet-watermelon.html
Enjoy and have a good weekend! :-)
P.S. As a follow-up to my post about my personal trainer, I did fire him and am now looking for someone new. I realized that I really don’t need the stress of dealing with the guy, plus it didn’t even make sense to see someone if they are hurting my efforts as much as they are helping them. This time, I’m going to interview a few people and not just hire the first person I meet.
