·       1-2 Tablespoons taco seasoning, more or less to taste

·       1 medium sweet onion, chopped finely

·       15 ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed

·       15 ounce can kidney beans, drained and rinsed

·       15 ounce can pinto beans, drained and rinsed Z

·       15 ounce can corn (or one bag of frozen)

·       15 ounce can tomato sauce

·       10 ounce can Rotel

·       15 ounce can diced tomatoes

·       1/4 cup salsa, fresh is best

 

Instructions

1.  Brown hamburger in a large pan over medium-heat. Add taco seasoning. (Sometimes I skip this entire step by buying a pound of ground beef from Bravo Mexican Grill.)

2.  Add in the onions, bell peppers and sauté for a few minutes.

3.  Add all ingredients to the crockpot* and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours.

4.  Top with sour cream and cheese. Serve with tortilla chips or cheese quesadillas. Enjoy!

* I place all of my tomato products (Rotel, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce) in the blender before adding to the crockpot because my people don't like to "see" tomatoes.
