Taco Soup

1 lb ground beef, cooked and crumbled
1/2 cup onion
20 oz can chopped tomato
1 can kidney beans with the juice
14 oz can corn with the juice
8 oz can tomato paste
1 pkg taco seasoning
1 – 2 cups water
Salt and pepper to taste

You can either cook it in a slow cooker on low for 4 – 6 hours, or cook it on the stovetop. Top your bowl with crushed taco chips and cheese.

Hot Hamburger Dip

2 ½ cups Velveeta cheese, cubed
8 oz (250 g) cheddar cheese, shredded
1/3 cup jalapeno peppers, finely chopped

I cooked this in my slow cooker. This also freezes well.
