This time of year these type of recipes are essential - and oh so yummy. You can take this dish to office parties, family get togethers, or just have it around for a quick and easy supper at home when you have a busy day wrapping presents.

I didn't have an exact recipe, so I found one on allrecipes.com that's comparable to how I make it.

1 pound lean ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
2 (15 ounce) cans kidney beans, drained (or black bean drained and rinsed)
6 cups corn chips
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Sour cream



DIRECTIONS

In a skillet over medium heat, cook beef and onion until beef is browned; drain. Place beef mixture in slow cooker with taco seasoning, tomato sauce, corn, and beans.
Cover, and cook on Low 2 hours. To serve, put soup in bowl, top with cheese, a handful of cornchips, and a dollop of sour cream.

Note: If you need this quick, you can cook it in a stock pot over high heat for 30 minutes - done!
Also, I use about 1/2 a can of corn (actually, I buy the frozen kind in a bag so I don't waste any....)
