Famished Friday - Taco Soup

A co-worker gave me this yummy recipe the other day and I thought I would give it a shot. So I called the cook of the house (AKA KingB) and asked him if he would like Taco Soup for dinner or another recipe I found from a fellow blogger.. he hesitated and asked if that meant I was cooking dinner LOL he asked the ingredients in both dishes and then picked Taco Soup. So we stopped by the store on the way home and picked up the needed items. I will attempt recipes at least once and sometimes twice, but I like them to be exact measurements and tell me step by step what to do (can you tell I'm not comfortable in the kitchen?). Well this recipe wasn't too descriptive, however I managed with a few questions to the cook of the house and I think it turned out pretty good. KingB went back for seconds, SportyB asked to take it to lunch, Mimi took some home with her and QueenB had a huge smile. Let me know how your family likes it.. I served it over rice - yum!
