Savory Taco Soup Recipe: A Flavorful Tex-Mex Delight

Ingredients

• 1 pound of ground beef
• 2 cans of ranch-style chili beans (16 ounces each)
• 1 can of pinto beans (15 ounces), drained and rinsed
• 1 can of whole kernel corn (14 ounces), drained
• 1 can of diced tomatoes with green chile peppers (10 ounces, e.g., RO*TEL®)
• ½ loaf of processed cheese food (1 pound, e.g., Velveeta®), cubed
• 1 pint of half-and-half cream
• 1 pint of heavy cream
• 1 package of taco seasoning mix (1 ounce)
• 1 package of ranch dressing mix (1 ounce)

Step 1

Get ready to whip up a delicious meal by heating a big pot on medium-high heat. Once the pot is nice and toasty, toss in the ground beef and give it a good stir. Cook it up until it's nicely crumbled, browned, and no longer pink. Don't forget to drain off any excess grease.

Step 2

Now, it's time to add in the flavorful ingredients! Throw in the ranch beans, pinto beans, sweet corn, zesty tomatoes with green chiles, creamy processed cheese, half-and-half, rich heavy cream, taco seasoning, and zesty ranch dressing mix. Give everything a good mix and bring it all to a boil, stirring every now and then to ensure everything is well combined.

Step 3

Once it's reached a nice boil, lower the heat to medium-low and let it simmer away for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese has melted into gooey goodness. Enjoy the delicious aroma wafting through your kitchen as you patiently wait for this hearty dish to be ready to serve.
