Taco Soup

One of the girls I work with, Stephanie, told me about her Taco Soup this past Friday. It sounded so go I grabbed a sheet of paper and wrote down her recipe. I hope it turns out, as of right now it smells soooo good.
Ingredients:
Ground beef or turkey (I used ground turkey despite Jake's wishes)
2 cans of tomatos (any kind works)
2 cans of corn (again, it doesn't matter what type of corn)
2 cans of kidney beans (I used one can dark and one light)
Packet of taco seasoning (Stephanie does her own seasoning but said this was much easier)
1 large onion chopped
1 green pepper
*and anything else that sounds like it would go good with tacos
Brown meet with chopped onions.
Add all ingredients to pot. This can be cooked in a crok pot or on the stove.
Let cook on high for 2-3 hours on the stove, or 4-5 hours in the crok pot.
1/2 hour before eating: add 1/4 to 1/3 cup of red wine vinegar and 1/4 cup sugar.
Stir and turn to low for 30 min.
Can be served with any toppings you would put on normal tacos.
Right now, the taco soup is cooking while Jake is at the gym and I am doing laundry. It smells sooooo good and I can't wait to eat it during the Supper Bowl while watching the commercials. One suggestion Stephanie had was to get scoop chips and use it as dip. Next time we make this I think I will try that. Or adding avocados to the soup.
I'll let you know how it was :O)

I turned out really good! And not spicy at all. Add a 2nd packet of taco seasoning for more spice :O) I like it just the way it is though
