Ranch Taco Soup

1 pound lean ground beef

1 onion, chopped

1 14-ounce can crushed tomatoes

1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes with green chiles
1 14-ounce can pinto beans
1 14-ounce can pork and beans
1 8-ounce can tomato sauce
2 cups water
1/2 - 1 envelope taco seasoning mix
1/2 - 1 envelope Ranch dressing mix

In a large pot, brown ground beef with onion until beef is no longer pink and the onion is soft and clear. Add tomatoes, beans, tomato sauce and water. Add 1/2 an envelope of each of the mixes. Add more to taste.

I like to add a frozen corn and a can of black beans. And a bit more water if it gets thick. So delicious served with a drizzle of Ranch dressing and nacho cheese tortilla chips (Doritos).

This recipe freezes beautifully! I make alot of it and freeze it in quart freezer bags. I also freeze it in individual serving sized bowls for Sam to take with him for lunch. So easy.
