Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef 80/20 or 85/15
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning
  • 1 15 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 15 oz can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 15 oz can corn, drained
  • 1 15 oz can diced tomatoes
  • 4 cups beef or chicken broth
  • Shredded cheddar cheese garnish
  • Sour cream garnish
  • Tortilla chips garnish

Method
 

  1. Heat large pot over medium-high heat. Cook ground beef until half done, add onion, cook 4 minutes, then add garlic for 30 seconds. Drain excess fat if needed.
  2. Add drained beans, corn, undrained tomatoes, and broth. Stir well.
  3. Stir in ranch seasoning and taco seasoning packets. Add water if needed.
  4. Simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until flavors meld together.
  5. Serve hot with shredded cheddar, sour cream, and tortilla chips.

Notes

Use a 6-quart pot to avoid overflow. Drain beef fat to prevent greasy texture. Do not substitute liquid ranch dressing for the dry mix.
