Simply Sunday~ Southwest Soup!

Brrr, it is cold here in Texas and I had to spend all day and night outside at a stadium watching my daughter's Colorguard Competition, so I thought I would whip up a pot of this easy Southwest Soup. I got the recipe from a school cafeteria about 17 years ago!



Southwest Soup
1 lb hamburger
1 medium onion chopped
1 package Taco Seasoning
1 package dry Buttermilk Ranch Dressing
1 can Pinto Beans
1 can Corn with juice
1 can Black Beans
1 can Rotel Tomatoes
1 can Diced Tomatoes

Brown beef and onion. Add seasoning. Put other ingredients in a pot and add beef mixture. Bring to a boil then simmer on low as long as you want. The longer, the tastier. Enjoy and stay warm! Hugs! Barb

Stampin' Up! Bootiful Occasions

Bootiful Occasions!
What a fun stamp set!
I made eyeballs on the card and used our new Googly Eyes. I love our Halloween ribbon from the Mini  Catalog! I used this for a friend's b'day card. I always wished my b'day was in May or October!
