Bean-corn-something

I found a recipe for some yummy sounding soup/chili on a random blog (and I so wish I had bookmarked it but I didn't) so I decided to attempt cooking tonight. Below is the recipe and the starred items I added in. AB and I piled it on baked potatoes with cheese/sour cream. Good stuff. You could also put it in a tortilla.

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 package mild taco seasoning mix
• 1-16 oz can corn (undrained)
• 1-16 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1-14 oz can stewed tomatoes
• 1-14 oz can diced tomatoes
• 1-8 oz can tomato sauce
• 1-4 oz can diced green chilis
• 1 green pepper, chopped*
• 1 cup of mushrooms, chopped*
• 1-16 oz can Great Northern Beans, drained and rinsed*
• Any topics you may like- avacados, sour cream, cheese, etc

Brown meat and onion/pepper/mushroom, drain. Stir in taco seasoning, corn, beans, tomatoes, tomato sauce, and green chilis. Simmer on low heat for 20 to 30 minutes. Serve with tortilla chips and your favorite toppings OR on a baked potato :-)

 After cooking, let soup cool down and then dump into a gallon-sized Ziploc bag or other freezer container. When you want to eat it, let it thaw in the fridge for 24 hours and then simmer on the stove until heated all the way through or microwave until heated all the way through. You could also put it in your crock pot and cook on low for 2-3 hours to re-heat it.
