You said to share my version!  Here goes!

About 1 1/2 to 2 pounds of ground chuck (browned and drained)

3 cans of red beans (like those better cuz of NOLA's Camelia Brand ones)

1 can of whole kernal corn

Small onion...chopped (optional)

1 dry package of Taco seasoning

1 dry package of Ranch Dressing mix

1 can of Rotel Tomatoes (***)

Brown the hamburger meat and drain.  While the burger is draining, I just dump all the other stuff in the large pot. (***) I don't care for tomatoes...so I use the Rotel.  BUT....you will need the liquid to replace what you would get out of the larger diced tomato cans...So I take a can of beans...after it has been thrown in the pot...and fill it up with water and add that.

Let it simmer for about an hour.  Serve with cheese, sour cream, chopped green onions...what ever you choose to add.  Tastes even better the next day!

This is Kat's way!  LOL

Good idea Ron.  I have done so in the past but Steph doesn't like that much heat.

Very nice ol' 64 Job well done, my wiffy makes it all the time in the slow cooker.

Thanks DS!  You can't beat Taco Soup for a quick meal that tastes like it took hours to prepare!

I appreciate the compliment!
