Taco Soup w/ Sweet Corn Bread

Ingredients:
2 lbs. ground turkey (or hamburger)
1 onion, diced
2 cans of kidney beans (or black beans)
2 cans of corn
3 sm. cans of diced tomatoes
2 sm. cans of green chilies
1 packet taco seasoning
1 packet ranch dressing mix
Shredded cheese and sour cream (for embellishment)

The Directions:
Brown meat and onions. Drain fat and add mixture to crockpot. Sprinkle seasoning packets on top of meat (I used 1 ½ packets of each). Drain and rinse the beans and add to crockpot. Add the ENTIRE contents of the corn, tomato, and green chilies cans.

Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4-5. I think the longer it cooks, the better! Serve with shredded cheese and a dollop of sour cream on top, plus a side of Sweet Corn Bread (see recipe below).
