Crock-pot Taco Soup

It is kinda chilly outside so I thought this would make a nice Sunday afternoon meal! I got the original recipe off of our church recipe Yahoo group, and then modified it for my non-spicy eating husband! In case you would like the original, just add 1 10-11-oz.can RoTel tomatoes with chilies and 1 4-oz. can of chilies.

Crock-pot Taco Soup

1 can black beans (15-16 oz.)
1 can kidney beans (15-16 oz.)
1 can navy beans (15-16 oz.)
1 can fiesta corn, drained
1 can diced tomatoes (28 oz)
1 envelope taco seasoning
1 envelope Ranch dressing mix
1 lb. meat (shredded chicken, ground beef or turkey)- I use ground turkey

Cook meat and drain or shred. Add to crock pot. Add ALL cans- DO NOT DRAIN BEANS OR TOMATOES. Add all envelopes. Stir. Cook on high for 2 hours or low for 4 hours (I'm cooking on low). Keep on low until serving or to keep hot. Garnish with sour cream, shredded cheese, chopped green onions, tortilla chips, etc.

The Easiest Cookies Ever!

Pumpkin Spice Cookies

1 can pumpkin
1 box spice cake mix
1 bag chocolate chips

Mix pumpkin and cake mix well. Fold in chocolate chips. Drop by heaping tablespoons onto a cookie sheet lined with foil or parchment paper- however they look now is how they will look after they are done- not very glamorous :-) Bake at 350 degrees for approx. 18 minutes. YUM YUM!
