Taco Soup

Taco Soup

1/2 lb ground beef
1/4 C. chopped onion
2 16 oz. cans diced tomatoes
1 can kidney beans, drained
1 can corn undrained
8 oz. tomato sauce
1 taco seasoning packet
1-2 C water (depending on how thick you like your soup)

Brown meat and onion together.  Add canned ingredients, taco seasoning and water.  Heat through. Serve with cheese and sour cream (avocado is yummy too!).  We like it with corn or tortilla chips too!

Labels (23) Thaw meat/onion mixture in the fridge or on the stove top, and then add cans, taco seasoning (less for a milder flavor, more for a little more spice) and 1-2 cups of water, depending on how thick you like your soup.  Bring to a boil and simmer to heat through.

BBQ Pulled Chicken Sandwiches

• (From Mel's Kitchen Cafe)
• 
  
• 1 small to medium yellow onion, thinly sliced into half moons
• 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, fresh or frozen
• 1 cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons molasses
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Hamburger buns 

1. Scatter the onions on the bottom of a slow cooker. Place chicken on top of the onions.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the ketchup, vinegar, mustard, molasses, onion powder, cumin, garlic powder, Tabasco and salt. Pour the sauce over the chicken. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low until the chicken is fork-tender and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 5-6 hours (add an additional hour if using frozen chicken breasts).
3. Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred the meat. Return it back to the slow cooker, mixing it with the sauce. Serve the chicken hot on whole wheat rolls, if desired.
