Notes

For best results, use my homemade taco seasoning. Can also use a store-bought package of seasoning.
You can switch out the beans for any variety that you like.
Ground beef can also be substituted for ground turkey.
This recipe can be placed in a slow cooker after meat is browned, and allowed to simmer all day long.
Leftovers may need extra broth.
