This recipe originally came from the Duggar Family Website, so I’m giving credit where credit is due, but we’ve tweaked their version to our own liking and made it our own family favorite! The places where I have variable amounts, we normally use the least amount on the more expensive items, and the largest amount on the more inexpensive item to make it more frugal and delicious!
1-3 pounds ground turkey or hamburger
1 med. onion, chopped
3 (4oz.) cans chopped tomatoes with green chilies
3 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. pepper
3 pkg. taco seasoning
3 pkg. ranch or 1 c. liquid ranch dressing (optional)
9 (14 1/2 oz.) cans diced tomatoes, undrained
3 (15oz.) cans kidney beans, undrained
6 (15oz.) cans pinto beans, undrained
6 cups water
(note: on the beans we usually make our own from dried in the crockpot and use about 8-10 cups total either with kidney and pinto or just one of those…whatever is on hand)
Brown ground meat with onion and then put all ingredients into a large stock pot. Bring to boil, then turn to low and simmer 30 minutes. Serve with tortilla chips or corn chips, grated cheddar cheese and sour cream.
