Ingredients

For the Soup

  • 1 lb. Ground Moose Beef, or Turkey
  • 4 15-16 oz. cans Beans your choice
  • 1 15-16 oz. can of Corn
  • 1 15-16 oz. can of Tomato Sauce or Diced Tomatoes
  • 1 6 oz. can Black Olives
  • 1 4-7 oz. can Green Chilies
  • 1 quart Vegetable or Chicken Stock
  • 1 package Taco Seasoning

Toppings

  • Fritos 1-2 bags or Corn Chips or Tortilla Strips
  • Shredded Cheese your choice 1-2 c. (How much do you like cheese!)
  • Sour Cream

Instructions

For the Soup

  • Brown ground meat in frying pan; drain when cooked.
  • While meat is cooking, open beans and drain in colander; once drained add to crock pot or large stove top pot.
  • Open corn, olives, green chilies, and tomato sauce and add full can, including liquids, to beans.
  • Add cooked meat.
  • Pour stock of choice over ingredients in pot, add package of taco seasoning, and stir.

Cooking Times:

  • The longer and slower you can let this cook, the better the flavors will develop.
  • Crock Pot: 8-10 hours on low heat-stir occasionally.
  • Crock Pot: 5-6 hours on high heat-stir occasionally.
  • Stove Top: ~ 1 hour on simmer-stir enough to avoid burning and monitor liquids for excess evaporation; add more stock if needed.
  • Once cooked, serve over Fritos or corn chips and top with shredded cheese and sour cream.

Notes

  • For bean selection, I like 2 cans Kidney Beans, 1 can Black Beans, and 1 can Garbanzo Beans.
  • Olives may either be sliced or whole per your preference.  My kids like them whole.
  • Green Chili amount, your preference (I like more than less).
  • Favorite cheese is Cheddar/Jack blend.
