OK, so I just finished up making that taco soup, and I promised to write on it. It is what many like to call a dump and dash recipe. The only real cooking you will to do is brown up a couple pounds of ground meat (turkey, beef, not sausage). While you are doing that put beans in a big stock pot. (I like kidney). I use three cans, but that's around 36 ounces for those who want to use dry beans that they have soaked up. Add to those beans taco seasoning (I use a packet, but some people make up their own, also cool), ranch dressing mix, Italian dressing mix, a can of corn (or 12 ounces), a can of olives (I prefer black but that doesn't matter), and a couple of cans of tomatoes and chilies. I use the tomatoes with chilies. Once the hamburger is browned, drain and add to the stuff that you have been warming up in the stockpot. Amounts can be changed, ingredients can be changed. This recipe is one I got from a coworker and then just started tweaking and making it how I would like it. It makes a lot, and we eat on it for days. Let me know if you have any questions, I have a feeling, if you like tacos, you will love this.

I just made some fried rice with bits of egg in it. Was so good tasted just like the Chinese rice. But I was too lazy to go out and find sesame seeds to make sesame chicken.

@Jessicalynnt easy ..dont cook the rice, throw it in the pan with whatever oil you want, fry it til it pops, then add water til it is soft enough to eat..and so on..
