Taco Soup

TACO SOUP
1 lb. ground beef, browned and drained 
1 pkg. taco seasoning mix
 onions -1/2 medium
Green peppers, to taste (about 1/4 cup)
Ranch dressing mix-1 envelope
1 (16-oz.) can whole kernel corn
3 (16-oz.) cans pinto beans, undrained
3 (16-oz.) cans stewed tomatoes, undrained
5 cups water
grated cheddar cheese, for garnish, if desired

In a large pot,brown ground beef with onions and peppers. 

Drain well. Add the rest of the ingredients, breaking up stewed tomatoes into small pieces.

Simmer for 20-30 minutes. To serve, top with cheese if desired. Makes 2 1/2 quarts soup.

Note: I am always on the lookout for easy recipes that reheat and freeze well. This soup fits the bill and is even better the next day.
