Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 pound ground beef lean, 500 g
  • 1 can tomato sauce 14 oz/398 mL
  • 1 can diced tomatoes with juice, 14 oz/398 mL
  • 1 can pork and beans 15 oz/425 mL
  • 1 can red kidney beans with liquid, 15 oz/425 mL
  • 1 can corn with liquid, 15 oz/425 mL
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning 30 mL
  • 1 cup water

Garnishes and Toppings:

  • corn tortilla strips optional, or crushed tortilla chips
  • cheddar cheese optional, shredded
  • sour cream optional
  • cilantro optional, chopped, fresh

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook beef, breaking up with a spoon, for 4 to 5 minutes, until browned. Drain fat.

MAKE IT NOW

  1. In a large saucepan, combine cooked ground beef, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes (with juice), pork and beans, kidney beans, water, corn and taco seasoning. Bring to a boil over medium high heat. Immediately reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes.
  2. Remove from heat. Ladle into bowls and top with desired toppings such as crushed tortilla chips, Cheddar cheese, sour cream and cilantro, if using.

MAKE IT A FREEZER MEAL

  1. Let ground beef cook completely.
  2. In a labeled gallon-size (4 L) freezer bag, combine ground beef, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes (with juice), pork and beans, kidney beans, water, corn and taco seasoning. Seal, removing as much air as possible, label and then freeze.

THAW AND COOK

  1. Place bag in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours or up to 24 hours to thaw. Keep bag of soup in a large bowl just in case it leaks or the bag isn’t sealed tightly.
  2. Pour contents into a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Immediately reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat.
  3. Ladle into bowls and top with crushed tortilla chips, Cheddar cheese, sour cream and cilantro, if using.
