Taco Soup

Time for an old stand by. It had actually been a while since I'd made Taco Soup. I used to make it all the time, but somehow it had fallen out of the routine. I am so glad I remembered this little gem. I whipped it up in no time - which is why I am confused about its absence - I have been a bit of a last minute cook lately, and have been getting pretty good at having dinner on the table in record time, if I do say so myself. 

1/2 lb. ground beef, cooked - I cook a lot at once, and only use a small portion for dinner, and freeze the rest in usable portions, saves time when your cooking in a rush. 

1 onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced, mashed or however you want

1 bell pepper, diced

1 cup frozen corn

1 can black beans

1 can diced tomatoes

1 can beef broth, or 2 cups water and 1 bouillon

2 roasted green chilis, diced, or 1 can green chile 

1/2 package taco seasoning

1 tsp. cayenne

1/2 tsp. chili powder

1/2 tsp. garlic salt

salt and pepper to taste

Toss everything in a pot and bring to simmer. Simmer 10 minutes. Serve with avocado, cilantro, limes, and sour cream.
