Taco Soup

I have heard of this recipe with so many variations.  This is the quick and simple recipe.

1lb browned hamburger meat
2 cans corn
1 can rotel
1 can pinto beans
1 pkg ranch dressing
1 pkg taco seasoning
1/2 diced onion

Brown hamburger meat in skillet with diced onion.  Drain oil from the meat.  Add corn, rotel, and pinto beans (all undrained, the juice helps make the soup).  Stir.  Add ranch dressing ans taco seasoning and stir again.  Add 1 cup water or more to your desired soupiness.  Bring to boil.  Reduce heat and cover, simmering for about 20 minutes.  Serve with shredded cheese and tortilla chips.

**Some variations may include adding bell peppers or even chopped jalapenos.  You can add more beans, or different kinds of beans.  Maybe less corn.  Water can be less or more depending on your desired thickness.  I haven't tried this recipe with chicken, but that may be a very good idea also.  Be creative or leave it alone.  Personally, I like this recipe the way it is.**
