What to make???

This coming Saturday is our Wards Trunk -or- Treat activity. It is the first one that our ward has done in several years. Before we moved here, the Ward back in California that we were attending did this activity and it was my first time. We didn't have any kids but one of my really good friends talked me into going and I was so glad that I did. The families who are passing out candy decorate the trunk of their car and the kids go from car to car to car to gather Candy! There were some very spooky trunks and some silly ones. If I remember correctly, someone even had spooky music playing from the car too!

We are not going to decorate our trunk but will plan on attending and playing the games in side the gym, eating the tasty soups provided and then going Trunk -or- Treating in the parking lot at the Church.

I just hope that Bug is not to cold in his Bee Costume. I have bought a black long sleeve shirt and black sweat pants and we will see how it goes. We might not be out too long. The activity starts at 5pm but the Trunk -or- Treating doesn't start tell 7 and goes only tell 7:30pm.

I signed up to bring a crock pot soup for the activity, and after some searching I think I have finally decided on what I am going to bring.

It is Taco Soup. I can't remember where I found the recipe. So I am making a disclaimer right now that I did not come up with this recipe on my own.

Here is a picture of the supplies that I bought.

I am also making this soup for the Moms Club Halloween Activity next week, so I have doubled up the supplies. I will try and take a picture of the soup when it is in the crock pot on Saturday and post how it turned out.

Here is the recipe.

Taco Soup


INGREDIENTS:
2 pounds browned hamburger meat
2 cans ranch-style beans, or pinto beans
2 cans whole kernel corn
2 cans diced stewed tomatoes
1 can rotel (tomatoes with green chiles)
1 pkg. Ranch Style Dressing Mix
1 Pkg. Taco Seasoning

PREPARATION:

Combine all ingredients in the crockpot. Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours.
Tenille's Note: I cook mine in the crockpot for several hours. Great to put in in the morning before work. Will be ready and delicious when you get home.
