Taco Soup

2 Cans of Hominy, white or yellow
2 Cans of Pinto beans
2 Cans of Rotel tomatoes (diced with green chilies)
1 8 OZ. can of tomato sauce
1 Taco Seasoning packet
1 Ranch Dressing packet
1 onion, chopped
1 Green Bell Pepper, chopped
1 lb of ground beef or chicken/turkey

In a Dutch Oven, add onion, pepper, and meat. Brown slightly. By not browning all the way the meat will continue to cook slowly in the pot while it simmers. Making the meat more tender, not a chewy hunk of meat!
Add all remaining ingredients. Do not drain any of the cans. Do not add water to pot.
Bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer about 35 minutes. Stirring occasionally. Soup is done when hominy is softer than before you put it in the pot.

Serve with shredded cheddar cheese on top and tortilla chips to dip. YUM-O!
