I saw a taco chili on a blog and decided to try it with some changes to make it more flavorful. The ranch dressing adds another note of flavor that really sets off the taco seasoning.
Ingredients

1 lblean ground beef

1 can(s)16 oz. black beans
-
1 can(s)16 oz. kidney beans
-
10 ozfrozen corn
-
1 can(s)15 oz. tomato sauce
-
3 cloveminced garlic

1 can(s)28 oz. diced tomatoes

How to Make Taco Ranch Chili
- Brown beef in dutch oven over medium heat. I don't drain the beef because it is lean and I use what fat there is to cook the onion and garlic.
- When ground beef is almost cooked, add onion. When onion is almost translucent, add garlic.
- Combine the remaining ingredients in the pot and stir.
- Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer. The longer it simmers the better it is, so if you can take smelling all that wonderful chili goodness, let it simmer for at least an hour or so.
- Serve with tortilla chips, sour cream, shredded cheese, avocado. chopped green onions or tomatoes...you get the idea.
- Last but not least, consider doubling the recipe because it won't last long.
Enjoy!
