My secret recipe book (Taco Soup)

Hey yall!

I would love to let you in on my tried and true recipes.

I know how hard it is to make something special for someone. And you go on pinterest or wherever and you think to yourself, "Wow, this meal looks amazing!!!!" But it has way too many ingredients or it might not turn out the way the person describes. How do you know? maybe they are just really skilled food photographers, or have terrible taste in food (the people I hate the most in this world).

I have a lot of friends who come to me when they are throwing a party, making a romantic meal for their boyfriend/husband, or even just new ideas to spice up your weekly menu. Some of these people claim they are TERRIBLE cooks. Like the kind that has burnt boiling water before. Which I will never understand to this day. Anyway, they can follow and accomplish these recipes and so do you.

I will admit, I did not come up with all of these recipes. I have gathered them over the years from Pinterest, friends, my mom (the BEST cook in the world), and random places here and there. I am just compiling a few of my favorites for you, because I have made them OVER and OVER. So you know they are good and easy to make.

Anyway, let's get started. I am going to begin with one of my mom's recipes. I make this all the time and my husband LOVES it!

Taco Soup:

I love this recipe I have because it's a text message from my mom. How precious. And because can goods are so cheap, but this is the most delicious and easiest weeknight meal (or group event meal) ever.

1 pound hamburger (or I like to use turkey if I am feeling healthy)

1 chopped onion (brown and drain both)

1 package of ranch dressing mix

1 package of taco mix

1 can rotel

1 can diced tomatoes

1 can chili beans

1 can ranch style beans

1 can golden hominy

1 can water

Brown and drain the meat and onions and add all the ingredients to a large sauce pan. Bring to a boil and let simmer for at least 30 minutes.

Serve with tostito chips, cheese, and sour cream. YUMMMM!
