October Shop Hop Favorite Recipe

Last month guild members, Nancy, Lainee, Loraine and Brenda, participated in the Mystery Harvest Quilt Shop Hop. It was a tri-state shop hop, with sixteen quilt shops in Kentucky, Ohio, and West Virginia. Every shop served refreshments, with one being featured on a recipe card and given to shop hoppers when they had their passports stamped.

Here's the favorite recipe of Nancy, Loraine, Lainee and Brenda! It's Taco Soup and was served by Pieces Of The Past Quilt Shop in Harrisville, West Virginia.

1 lb ground beef
1 can Mexican style tomatoes, undrained
2 cans stewed tomatoes, undrained
1 medium onion, chopped
1 pkg taco seasoning
4 oz can chopped chilies
1 pkg Hidden Valley Ranch Salad Dressing Mix (dry)
15 oz can pinto beans
15 oz can black beans
15 oz can kidney beans
15 oz can hominy
1 1/2 to 2 cups hot water or chicken broth
Fresh lime juice
Shredded Monterrey Jack Cheese
Nacho Chips

Brown ground beef and onions, then drain. Mix together all canned items and mix with beef.

Combine dry mixes with water or broth and add to beef mixture. Stir together and simmer for one hour.

Add lime juice to soup or serve lime wedges with each serving.

Top with cheese and chips.
