We were planning on going to Chili's tonight, but a MAJOR thunderstorm hit and freaked our golden so I made do at home. Baked beans, pickles, macaroni salad and hotdogs got the job done.

We're still moving so it's been whatever I can throw in the crockpot. Tonight was taco soup and cornbread.

Taco soup doesn't sound so bad. Where did you ever find a recipe? I would like to give it a try.

@Mother Hen there are hundreds of taco soup recipes (literally) but this is mine.

1/2 pound ground meat or leftover meat of some kind chopped small
28 ounce can or qt. jar of tomatoes of some kind. I usually use crushed but any kind will work even pasta sauce.
a couple cans of corn
a couple cans of beans or a qt of my canned beans whatever kind you like.
diced onion or onion powder
minced garlic or garlic powder
Chili powder to taste
salt and pepper to taste

I dump everything in the pot and bring to a boil. Let simmer a few minutes or just dump in the crockpot and leave a few hours.

I will add leftover stuff to it like green beans, fried potatoes, etc. I also will throw in chopped jalapenos or chilies if I have them.

A lot of people like crackers with it but we always have cornbread or a crusty homemade bread.

In the winter we have this almost every week. It is quicker to make than waiting in a drive-through lane at Mickey D's and so much better. Way healthier and cheaper.

Supper last night had to be quick because I waiting for court most the day. It was a casserole made with boxed mac & cheese, ground beef cooked, onions, garlic, grated cheese and sour cream. There was buttered plain white bread on the side and watermelon. Not healthy but filling and tasty.
