Taco Soup

Here is my version of taco soup that may be exactly like someone else's version, but between the two versions I have seen, this is a hybrid. So I call it mine.

Taco soup

-2 cans, drained and rinsed (or 2 cups soaked and cooked,if using fresh) of beans of your choice ( I usually use pinto and black)
-1/2 lb. to 1 lb. ground beef, browned with 1/2 an onion and a few cloves of garlic
- 2 cans of tomatoes, UN-drained
-1 can whole kernel corn, UN-drained
- 1 envelope dry Ranch dressing mix
-1 envelope of Taco Seasoning

Throw everything in the crockpot. Add water to just cover ingredients. Stir a couple of times, and cook on Low for about 5-6 hours. Top with crushed tortilla chips, shredded cheese, sour cream and/or chopped green onions.
