I made it for him instead of a cake on his birthday, so I thought I'd take a little extra time to type it out for everyone to try. I wish I could take credit for it, but it's not my recipe. I got this a few years ago from a lady at church, Mrs. Betty Danford. I'm so glad she shared it! I am posting a few pictures so that you can see how mine looks.

This recipe is super yummy! I have gotten so many requests for the recipe that I thought I'd share it here. As much as I would like to, I can't take credit for the recipe! I got it several years ago from a friend at work...I hope you enjoy it as much as we do! Santa Fe Soup Ingredients: • 1 lb. Ground Beef • 1 lb. Baby Link Sausage (sliced) • 1 med. Onion (chopped) • 1 can black beans • 1 can red beans • 1 can pinto beans • 2 cans white kernel corn • 2 cans diced tomatoes • 2 packages taco seasoning mix • 1 package ranch dressing mix • 2 cans water Brown ground beef, sausage and onion together. Drain. Place in crock pot and add other ingredients (do not drain water from any cans). Cook for about 2 hours. Serve with shredded cheese and sour cream. Corn Chips are also great with it. Sometimes I substitute ground venison instead of beef. Using spicy sausage and seasoned tomatoes also gives it a little extra kick! Happy Cooking!
