Menu Plan Monday: Week of Jan. 21st & Taco Soup Recipe


This week’s menu is rather simple, since we have a LOT going on. We are going to be gone several of the nights.

Menu Plan

Monday: Taco Soup (recipe below)

Tuesday: Dinner with friends

Wednesday: Work dinner

Thursday: leftovers

Friday: out to eat

Saturday: Eggs and Waffles

Sunday: Homemade pizza

This soup was amazingly tasty!! I think it’s the Ranch dressing mix that really added great flavor!

Taco Soup

  • 1 lb. lean ground beef
  • 1 package Ranch dressing mix
  • 1 package reduced sodium Taco seasoning mix
  • 2 cans chili beans (15 oz.)
  • 1 bag of frozen corn (12-16 oz.)
  • 1 can diced tomatoes and green chilies (15 oz.)
  • 2 can stewed tomatoes (16 oz.)
  • 2 cups water (you can vary this for thinner/thicker soup)

In a dutch oven, heat the lean ground beef until cooked thoroughly. Once cooked, drain excess liquid and add Taco mix to beef. Add diced tomatoes with the green chiles, beans, corn, stewed tomatoes, water and Ranch dressing. I usual bring it to a boil and taste it to see if I want to add anything else. Simmer to allow the flavors to merge.

Makes 6 servings.
