Fix-it and Forget-it

So, it's snowing outside...and it's sticking. I'm not really sure how I feel about it yet. It's pretty, but I still do not like the cold! Ryleigh and I have chosen to hibernate today (after a quick shopping spree at Meijer) and I got out the crock pot and the Fix-it and Forget-it cookbook that Jason's parents got me a couple of birthdays ago. 


So many great recipes and today I've decided to try a Zesty Taco Soup! I hope it is as delicious as it looks. 

Here is the recipe if you're interested: 


Zesty Taco Soup
Prep Time - 15 Minutes
Cook Time - 4-6 Hours
Serves - 6-8


Ingredients


1 lb. ground beef ( I use Jennie-O Extra Lean Turkey, less fat!) 
1 large white onion
1 can of Mexican-style tomatoes 
1 can of pinto beans
1 can of black beans, undrained
1 can of kidney beans, undrained
1 can of whole-kernal corn, undrained
1 jar of Picante Sauce (preferably Medium to give it some heat) 


1. Brown the meat and onions in a skillet. (I added a little bit of taco seasoning that I had in the house to   give it more of a taco flavor.) Drain. 
2. Combine meat and onions with all other vegetables and picante sauce in crock pot. 
3. Cover. Cook on low heat for 4-6 hours. 
4. Serve with tortilla chips, or fresh bread. Add sour cream and shredded cheese. 
5. Enjoy!
