Taco Soup

1 pound ground beef
1 cup chopped onion
1/2 c chopped green bell pepper
1 tsp minced garlic
2 (15 ounce) cans pinto beans
2 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
1 cup water
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chiles
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (1.25 ounce) envelope taco seasoning

Brown ground beef with onion. Add bell pepper, garlic, undrained beans, tomatoes, water, green chilies, tomato sauce and taco seasoning. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer 1 hour. Allow to cool. Place in freezer bag or container. Lavel and freeze. 6 servings.

To Serve: Thaw. Heat until hot and bubbly. Serve with tortilla Chips. (I added a dolup of sour cream and a large handful of shredded cheese and heated then served)

Note: Julie I know the tomato issue, maybe crushed tomatoes instead of diced.
