Slow-Cooker Taco Soup

I made this the other night and loved it... I found it on the Year of CrockPotting blog. You could make it on the stove top, or in your crockpot, or if you have an awesome Presto magic cooker like I do, you can do both. I added an onion, used black beans instead of kidney beans, and I actually used dried beans and soaked them the night before, but whatever. Cans would work.

The Ingredients:
1 lb lean hamburger. Or turkey. Or chicken? Or no meat at all.
1 onion
2 cans black beans
2 cans pinto beans
2 cans corn
1 large can of diced tomatoes
1 can diced tomatoes with chiles (aka Rotel)
1 packet taco seasoning (or seasoned salt, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, chili powder...)
1 packet ranch dressing mix (yes. I know this sounds weird. Trust me.)

Brown and drain the meat. Put everything in the slow cooker and stir it. Then cook on low for 8 hours or so or cook it on high for 4-5 hours. Add a little water if it looks too thick, and serve with sour cream and crunched tortilla chips.
