Dinner

We here at my house are all about quick, easy meals. Here is a recipe for a quick, easy (and very tasty) meal that I learned from a friend in my ward (and I suggest you listen up because everything this girl makes is amazing!):

Brown 1 lb hamburger; drain. Add 1 pkg taco seasoning, 1 can corn, 1 can black beans, 1 can chili beans, and 1 small or medium jar taco sauce. Simmer. Serve with corn chips.

(We like to eat it like a taco salad, with corn chips on the bottom, this mixture scooped on top, followed by layers of cheese, tomatoes, olives, avocado, lettuce, salsa, ranch, etc.)

I feel I must speak up for those who are afraid of beans, or corn, for that matter. As one who generally steers clear of things like beans (and sometimes corn), I think this dish is still delicious. It's like that bean blandness gets swallowed up in spicy and aromatic taco seasoning and taco sauce. So don't run from this one until you've tried it.

That is all. Now go eat.

Sounds yummy! I make a taco soup that's very similar:
1 pound hamburger, browned & drained
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can french sliced green beans
1 can corn
1 small can tomato paste
1 can red beans
1 pkg taco seasoning

Once the hamburger's browned (we brown 10-11 pounds at a time, then freeze it so it's really easy when we want to cook), it takes about 10 minutes and it's yummy. We serve it over Fritos with sour cream and shredded cheese. Very yummy.
