In a large pot I place a pound of frozen hamburger meat, a large can of diced tomatoes, and a package of Great Value Taco Seasoning (cost about 33 cents and does not have high fructose corn solids) and cooked this on high. As it was cooking I broke the meat apart slowly. After all the meat was fully cooked I added a can of Ranch Style Beans (GV brand works well, also), can of Wolf Brand Chili, approximately two cups of finely diced yellow squash, and 1-2 cups of water (depending on how soupy you want it). I added a teaspoon of salt (or so...). I served this on a small amount of plain white rice (a 1:4 ratio.... 1/4 cup of rice is enough per large bowl of soup because you want this to be more of a soup dish than a rice dish). I topped mine with mixed cheeses, but it would also be great with a dallop of sour cream and chopped green onions.
Ingredient list for shopping purposes:
1 lb hamburger meat
15 oz can of petite diced tomatoes
1 pkg Great Value Taco Seasoning (or other brand*)
1 can of Great Value Southern Ranch Beans (or Ranch Style Beans*)
1 can of Wolf Brand Chili
2-3 yellow squash
salt
rice
Optional extras: Cheese, sour cream, green onions/chives, etc..
*I choose items that do not have high fructose corn syrup and I have found to my surprise that the Great Value products are usually healthier than many name brands. The bonus is I save money, as well!
Sorry there is not pic... It just looks like a bowl of chili type soup. Make it and you will see what it looks like. Ha! More importantly it tastes yummy!
