I just made a batch of WW's taco soup that he had posted under "Deer Hunting". I substituted black beans for the pintos (wife likes it better), used the hot taco mix, and threw in Red Gold's fiesta style diced tomatoes instead of regular.
Another great use for ground venison. We give it 4 1/2 stars!!! We also garnished it with a little sour cream and Kraft shredded mexican four cheese. It was a nice change from chili. If I was making just for me, I would spice it up a little more, but it was excellent just as it was.

TRY IT!!

Just curious if this turned out ~thinner like a soup, or ~thicker like a chili or stew.

I like to make my chili just a little bit thin then load up the crackers to soak it up and be thicker & chunkier.

It was a thick soup. If you want thinner, you could add more than the 1 1/2 cans of water that it calls for.

Here is the recipe from Woody for anyone interested....looks very good.

When you're tired of Chili try ..

TACO SOUP.

If you like Tacos, you'll love Taco Soup.

Taco Soup


Brown 2 pounds of ground venison or beef and one medium chopped onion together


ADD:

1 package of dry ranch dressing
1 package taco mix
1 can of white corn
1 can of pinto beans
1 can of hot chili beans
1 small can of chopped green chilies
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
3 cans of diced tomatoes
1 ½ cans of water
Stir and simmer


When serving garnish with crushed tortilla chips

Goooooddddd!

Made it tonight.....not a thing wrong with it. Very tasty thanks for posting woody! (Somebody pass the message along to him if he's not reading here =) I also substituted black beans. I browned 2lbs venison burger then added sweet onion, pepper/salt, green chile's, ranch/taco seasoning, & water and allowed to simmer. After simmer for 1/2 hour I combined with remaining ingredients in crockpot. Cooked on high for 3 hours and it is now chilling (thickening) in fridge overnight. Did sneak a taste test and it is yummy. Really a Mexican Chili more than anything else. May boil elbow macaroni tomorrow then serve with sour cream and shredded cheese. Add some crackers and were good to go! Have a feeling there will be some to go thru vac sealer for later and I also have a feeling it will be even better then. Multiple hearty meals for less than 10 bucks.....hmm yet another tasty treat for deer burger.

We made this on Monday night. A very good dish. Been eating the leftovers for lunch this week.
