How to Make
-
Step 1: Brown the ground beef with onions in a large skillet and make sure to drain the excess fat. Once you add beef back to the pan add your garlic and cook for less than 45 seconds as you don't want to burn the garlic. Immediately pour into a slow cooker.
-
Step 2: Mix the following ingredients with the beef in the slow cooker: the tomatoes, chilies, the olives, beans, corn, seasoning mix and ranch dressing mix.
-
Step 3: Put the slow cooker on low for 7 to 8 hours. If you are using a large pot on the stove, be sure to simmer for only about an hour.
-
Step 4: When finished, put your Tortilla or corn chips in bowls and pour the soup over them, or you could pour the soup first and place the chips inside the sides of the bowl in the soup.
-
Step 5: Be creative with your toppings. You can use sour cream (ya, this is a must!), loads of cheese (another must!) and give it some heat if you want with hot peppers.

Step 6: Enjoy!
