Taco Soup

http://crockpot365.blogspot.com/2008/02/original-taco-soup-crockpot-recipe.html

I made this recipe with dried kidney beans that had been soaked overnight and then frozen. DH wasn't too excited about the corn, he didn't think it added to the dish. I didn't use the seasoning packets, but tried to instead add the ingredients that are in the packets (like onion, garlic, dill, chili powder, cumin, etc).

I don't think I'll use this version again. So many taco soup recipes call for a zillion cans, and I wanted to make it more from scratch. Dried beans are much cheaper.

It was good (though not as good as it could be) and is great with tortilla chips. Marra Brothers chips are the best if you go to JJ&F in Palo Alto!
