Dr. Pepper Taco Soup

• 1 - 1 1/2 lb ground beef
• 1/4 - 1/2 a white onion, diced
• 2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans tomato sauce
• 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can corn
• 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can ranch style beans
• 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
• 1 1/2 ounces taco seasoning
• 1 1/2 ounces ranch dressing mix, like hidden valley
• cayenne pepper (to taste)
• 6 ounces Dr. Pepper cola (I think we even used beer once) or 6 ounces regular cola (I think we even used beer once)
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt
• grated cheddar cheese
• corn chips
• sour cream (optional)

1. Brown meat and onions in large stock pot, drain grease.
2. On low-med. heat begin adding the rest of the ingredients besides the cheese and corn chips.
3. Simmer 20-30 minutes (lid on) letting the flavors blend.
4. Serve with cheese, chips, or a dollop of sourcream. YUMMY!
5. * This is SO awesome the next day so make sure to keep the leftovers. It thickens a little overnight which makes a fantastic impromptu dip.
