Sarah's Tacos

Who doesn't love tacos?! I got creative the other night with mine and this is what I came up with...

Ingredients:

1 lb of hamburger
1/2 of small onion (minced)
1 packet of Old Elpaso Cheesy Taco Seasoning
3/4 cup of milk
1 can of Rotel
1 box of taco shells
shredded lettuce, sour cream, salsa or your preferred taco toppings

Brown hamburger over medium-high meat and add onions about halfway through cooking. Drain meat of grease.

Add taco seasoning, milk and Rotel.

Mix together well and simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently, 10-15 minutes or until most of the liquid is gone.

Stuff warm taco shells with meat mixture and your choice of toppings. Enjoy!!

Crockpot Chili

There is nothing like a good pot of chili, especially on a cold winter day! So here is my chili recipe :)

1 bag of dry kidney beans (soaked in water overnight or at least 8 hours)
salt, pepper, garlic powder, chili powder (such as Mexene) to taste

1 lb of hamburger meat (browned and drained of grease)
1 onion
1 green pepper
2 cans of diced tomatoes
1 can of Rotel
1 packet of chili seasoning

Drain beans of water and put in crockpot. Cover with fresh water (just enough to cover the beans). Add salt, garlic powder and chili powder. I think the amount of these depend on the persons taste. Set crock pot to low and cook for 2-3 hours.

Now you may want to drain the beans of some of the water. It depends on how soupy you want your chili.

Add the remainder of the ingredients and stir. Continue to cook 4-6 hours or until the beans and vegetables are done.

Top with some cheese and onions if you choose. We also like tortilla chips to go along with it :)
