'We first sampled this chili-like soup at a church dinner,' writes Glenda Taylor of Sand Springs, Oklahoma. 'It's a warming dish on a cold day, and since it uses packaged seasonings and several cans of vegetables, it's a snap to prepare.'
'I came up with this sandwich when we wanted a light supper and didn't want to turn on the oven one summer evening,' recalls Renee Rutherford of Andover, Minnesota. Tip: 'Serve it for lunch, as a snack or paired with refried beans for dinner,' she says.
Your family is sure to enjoy this mildly spicy one-dish meal with Southwestern flair. It's quick and easy to make and fun to serve. -Flo Burtnett, Gage, Oklahoma
For this dinner recipe, ground beef is flavored like a taco to make a sauce for whole wheat pasta. Top with cilantro and cheese to keep the theme going.
Browned ground beef seasoned with a package of taco seasonings is combined in a slow cooker with canned beans, tomatoes, and green chilies. Serve with tortilla chips and a dollop of sour cream.
Black beans mingle with onions, peppers, garlic, cornmeal, and spices in this tasty taco filling. Try it in burritos or as a dip for tortilla chips. No black beans? Red, pink, or pinto beans are great subs.
