Winter here in Northwest Indiana has definately arrived. At the end of last week we received about a foot of snow, added to the foot we already had. The boys had 2 snow days and a late arrival, making them pretty happy campers. I’ve been busy with my cooking and baking as usual, along with preparing for the Blissdom Conference. I am looking forward to it so much I can hardly stand it 
23 days and counting…
Today is the last day to enter my Giveaway for a Cupcake Bath Bomb Kit, be sure not to miss it.
During the Winter months, I serve soup, usually once a week. The Taco Soup recipe I’m sharing with you is super quick (10 minutes to prepare) and very tasty.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground Beef
- 1 small Onion, chopped
- 1 can (48 oz) Tomato Juice
- 1/3 cup Sugar, a little less
- 1 cup Frozen Corn
- 1 package Taco Seasoning (I make my own)
- 1 can Chili Beans
Instructions
- Cook Ground Beef and Onion, drain.
- While Beef is cooking, add all ingredients to the crockpot.
- After the Beef and Onion are drained, add them to the crockpot. Simmer on low for 4 hrs or on high for 2 hrs.
- Serve with crushed tortilla chips, shredded cheese and sour cream.
You can also make this in less than 30 minutes on the stove-top. This is a very frugal meal as well, the cost, $4.25, to feed our family of 5 and have leftovers.
Now, onto our menu for this week…
Monday ~ Breakfast (either Tacos or Pancakes)

Taco soup is good. I’ve been on the same wavelength and am finishing up a big pot of chicken tortilla soup tonight. Delicious, frugal, and did wonders for my cold as well.
Looks like some great warm, comfort foods in your menu–sounds great to me, Liz!

I love this soup recipe. I changed the chili beans to black beans and added Red Gold Mexican tomatoes. You say that you make your own taco seasoning. Will you share how?
