As you can see from my kitchen window, it's coooold in West Virginia. So I decided to make a Taco Soup recipe I got from my husband's aunt's mother-in-law. Did you get all that? Anyways, that shiznit was good. Here's the recipe...
Taco Soup
1 pd ground beef (your choice)
2 pkgs taco seasoning
2 pkgs ranch dressing mix
2 cans black beans
2 cans chili beans (your choice of seasoning)
2 cans tomatoes w/ green chilies
2 cans diced tomatoes
2 cans corn
As you can see, I used all Kroger brand ingredients. Don't hate, congratulate! I saved all kinds of $$
-Cook the ground beef in a skillet, drain, and add 1 packet of taco seasoning (follow directions on pkg) to the meat.
Then mix the meat and all of the remaining ingredients in your crock pot.
Cook on high for 2 hours, stir every 30 minutes.
Then cook on low for 1 hour.
Then add whatever taco toppings you would like. I added cheese and sour cream, I'm sure tortilla strips would be good too!
Let me just say, this was awesome! And so easy! I added up how much it cost me and it was only $11.93!! We had 2 bowls last night, will have it again for dinner tonight, and possibly lunch! Suck on that Sandra Lee, HA!

OPI- You don't know Jacques!
It's a great color.. a little brown.. a little metallic. It goes with everything and I get constant compliments on it! I bought my bottle on Amazon.com. It was a LOT cheaper than my local nail salon.

I have no idea what I'm doing
Hello everyone! So this is my first blog post ...*sigh*... here I am world! My name is Crystal, I am a Realtor in a small town in West Virginia. The market is really slow right now for me so I thought I would write a blog to entertain myself!
After reading
for several months I decided "Hey I can do that!" It's a fun read and she looks like she has fun writing it!
What am I going to write about? Not sure yet. I know I'm supposed to figure that out before I even start a blog but life is too short to think so much lol! I enjoy fashion, interior design, and food! Heck, I may make myself useful and write a little about my profession.
You're probably wondering why my blog is titled Steak 'N Taters. The only explanation I can come up with is some of my posts may be great like steak or just ok like Taters. Hopefully I won't have any rotten taters. Did I mention I'm country?
Stay Tuned!
