TACO SOUP
1/2 c chopped onion
2 cans tomato sauce *
1 can dark red kidney beans
1 can black beans
2 cans petite diced tomatoes (okay to use ones with celery, onion, etc added0
1 pkg taco seasoning
1 lb. browned hamburger
1 can of water

*buy all cans the same size
Mix together in a large pot or a crockpot. Simmer 30 minutes. Garnish with sour cream, shredded cheese, olives, taco chips, onion...whatever you have on hand. ENJOY!

Oh, once in awhile, I throw in a can of corn, too. Just for the added color.
Or you can make gumbo. Replace the hamburger with Andouille sausage (hot, hot) chicken or shrimp. Add okra. Skip the sausage if your taste buds are not "pepper challenged".
