Southwest Taco Soup

The ranch dressing adds a little zip!

1 pound of ground beef

1 medium yellow onion, chopped

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 teaspoon of pepper

2 cans of diced tomatoes

1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed

1 can of pinto beans, drained and rinsed

1 can of golden hominy, drained and rinsed

2 tablespoons of ranch dressing mix

1/4 cup of taco seasoning

2 cups of water

Brown the beef, onion, and garlic in a large dutch oven and drain. Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer for an hour.

Garnish like a tortilla soup with jalapenos, cheese, sour cream, and green onions!
