Dear Readers,
This coming Sunday will be a day of watching football and eating good food. Mimi will be viewing the game in spite of the fact that the Eagles didn’t make it through the playoffs. Oh well, there’s always next year!
Have a great recipe for the pigskin feast. It’s easy, can be made in advance, (actually tastes better reheated) and my friends have really enjoyed it for the past few years. It’s Taco Soup and it feeds about 15 people. The ingredients can also be halved for a smaller batch. Be sure to serve the soup with bowls of grated cheese (cheddar or pepperjack), taco chips and extra hot sauce for those who want to “kick it up a notch!”
Taco Soup
2 pounds ground turkey (I use all white meat for less fat)
2 medium onions, chopped
salt and pepper (optional
1 can whole kernel corn (I use white shoepeg corn)
2 cans (27 ounces) red kidney beans
3 cans (28 ounces) stewed tomatoes
1 package taco seasoning
1 package ranch salad dressing
2-1/2 cups water
Instructions: In large cooking pot, saute turkey and onions. Add salt and pepper to taste, if desired. Add remaining ingredients and simmer for 30 minutes.
One more Super Bowl item: Did you see the article about a reporter from the Hispanic media who dressed up like a woman to interview the players? What’s up with that???
Keep smilin’!
