Taco Soup

This is an all time favorite in our house. Anytime the weather starts to get a little cooler, I pull this one out. It is SO SO easy and really good. It feeds a lot, so plan on seconds and leftovers.
I am making this one for dinner tonight!

1 lb ground beef
1 med chopped onion
1 med chopped green pepper
2- 15 oz kidney beans (don't drain)
1- 28 oz can whole tomatoes( don't drain) I use petite diced
1- 15 oz can whole kernal corn (don't drain)
1 can tomato paste
1 package taco seasoning mix
1 package light ranch dressing mix ( I just squeeze some regular ranch in, it works fine)
2 cups picante sauce
1 tsp salt

Mix all ingredients together, bring to a boil, cook for 1 hour.

** I like to brown my meat first and then add all ingredients to it. It cuts the simmering time in half.**
