Instructions

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef and chopped onions together over medium-high heat.
  2. Drain excess fat.
  3. Stir in the taco seasoning and 1 cup water until everything is well coated.
  4. Add the kidney beans, Rotel, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and salt.
  5. Stir well, bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low.
  6. Simmer uncovered for at least 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
    Or transfer to a slow cooker and cook on LOW all day.
