Welcome to 2013! I've decided to try to put a new spin on my blog and when I find a great recipe I like, feature it! And of course it has to be served up ala-junk style! This was a recipe I first saw on facebook. Unfortunately, it didn't give any attribution to the originator of it so I did my research. Thank you Google! And thankfully I did find the creator of it, Rebecca Crumb of Ezra Pound Cake, and decided to try my hand at it. I'm definitely not much of a cook, but it was easy. And I can most certainly can say it was a tasty meal. My family loved it! It makes a fairly large batch and can probably serve up to eight people. But lucky us we had leftovers! Since we are such a Scandinavian family, we're from Minnesota after all, I did cut the amount of diced green chilies down to one can, and added only about half of the taco seasoning. But for us it was perfect! You'll find the complete recipe after my pictures. And if you do give it a try, I'd love to hear your opinion!
You will need these canned goods, along with two pounds hamburger and 1 to 2 diced onions.
Cook the beef and onion in a large skillet.
Add the canned ingredients. Stir in taco seasoning and ranch dressing.
Let it simmer over low heat for 30 minutes up to 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
With a little embellishments, we're all ready for the soup!
Now doesn't that look perdy!
And it tastes as good as it looks!
Here's the recipe:
