Favorite Ingredient Friday~Taco chili

I almost forgot to do a recipe for FIF today! I guess things are really busier than usual around here. With Izzy recovering from yesterday, we are spending the day pampering and snuggling her a lot. She is better today though. Thanks for your prayers.

I saw this recipe last week on Paula Deen and it is a lot like the taco soup recipe but calls for dried beans, sounds fabulous right?

Taco Chili

1 cup dried kidney beans

1/2 cup dried pinto beans

1 (1 1/4-ounce) package taco seasoning mix

1 (1-ounce) package buttermilk salad dressing mix

3 tablespoons dried minced onion

1 teaspoon chili powder

1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

1 1/2 cups corn or tortilla chips
4 cups water

1 (11 3/4-ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chiles

1 (16-ounce) can tomato sauce

1 pound ground beef, cooked and drained

Place beans in a large bowl, cover with water and soak 6 to
8 hours, or overnight. Drain and add to a Dutch oven. Add seasonings, water, diced tomatoes and green chiles, tomato sauce, and ground beef.
Heat to boiling, cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 2 hours, or until beans are tender. Or just throw it all in the crockpot for the day and voila!

Serve with corn or tortilla chips.
