Taco Soup

Taco soup is also a fairly easy and quick dinner.
First you brown a pound of hamburger in a pot (like you will use for the soup, in the end it all ends up here) once the hamburger is cooked drain it and return it to the pan. Then you need to make your cheese sauce, (I make the sauce at the same time I am browning meat but you have to be careful not to overcook/scortch either) in a small saucepan (very small) melt two tablesppons butter, do not brown it. Add then two tablespoons flour and whisk it together to make a roux, cook this for a couple minutes but do not let it overcook. Then add 1 cup milk and mix together well, season with salt and pepper and cook for 3-4 minutes until it starts to thicken. Once it is a good thickness take off the heat and add one cup shredded cheddar cheese stir until melted and smooth set aside. Put over the meat 1 packet taco seasoning, one 10oz can of rotel, undrained, and one can of black beans 15oz, drained and rinsed, mix those ingredients well pour in 1 and 1/2 cups milk and cheese sauce and mix together well. Heat all for about 5 minutes once you bring it to a simmer. Remove and let set. Now you can serve it with whatever taco things you like, jalapenos, more cheese, sour cream, and they suggest you serve with tortilla chips, I use all the above!

  1. I've never heard of this before. I sometimes make a basic cheese sauce to go with boiled potatoes and I do it the same way.

    All the ingredients sound good; I just don't know how I feel about a taco being a soup. I love tacos. I love soup. Just not sure about the marriage of the two.
