Our “Chili” Recipe, aka Heather’s Taco Soup

Written By Heather Bacon

Today, I’m sharing one of my all-time favorites to make for guests: Taco Soup. Honestly, if you popped in at our house today, this is exactly what I’d serve you. My family can confirm—it’s been on repeat for years, and they never get tired of it. (It’s so routine that I don’t even have a picture of it!!)

It’s super, super easy, and it comes with a little history. I got this recipe from a dear friend over 20 years ago when she was doing Weight Watchers, and it quickly became a staple. It’s one of those recipes I bet you’ll keep too. It's my version of chili!

Heather’s Taco Soup

(All cans 15 oz.)

  • 1 lb. ground beef

  • 1 medium onion, diced

  • 1 can black beans, drained

  • 1 can pinto beans, drained

  • 1 can mild chili beans

  • 1 can corn

  • 3 cans diced tomatoes (I puree, picky kids)

  • 1 pkg Rach Dressing Mix (1 oz)

  • 1 pkg Taco Seasoning Mix (1 oz)

  • Toppings: Sour cream, Frito Corn Chips

    Brown ground beef & onion in a skillet. Drain & put in a large stock pot. Dump all other ingredients (minus toppings) & stir. Simmer one hour (if you have the time). Serve with sour cream and Frito Corn Chips. THAT’S IT!!
