My idea this week is.....TACO SOUP :)

 I made a HUGE batch last week and I loved the fact that it was SO easy and so economical! Once I got it all cooked up and cooled slightly, I separated it into ziplock baggies and put them in the freezer for a quick and easy meal. Of course if you have a bigger family it might feed you for one or two meals but since I cook for only me...this portioned me out 16 snack-size ziplocks full!! Turns out its AMAZING!!!! There are nights when I get home from work and do not want to cook a meal for just myself....so I pull out a ziplock and heat up in 4min! :)

Taco Soup

2lbs Ground Turkey (browned)

1 can Rotel 

1 can Stewed Tomatoes 

1 can Whole Corn 

2 can Ranch Style Pinto beans 

1 can Ranch Style beans 

1 can Kidney beans 

1 packet dry Ranch Dip 

1 packet Taco Seasoning 

1-2 cups of Water

Brown your meat.....than just add your remaining ingredients and heat! 

Most of the time I don't stick to this certain recipe, I just add whatever I have 

in my pantry! 

TIP-When you lay the baggies in the freezer lay them on their side to freeze 

or else the soup goes around the plastic and its HARD to rip it off when you want to heat it up.
