I originally planned to make these two dishes last week - but didn't. I originally got them {here} on the Passys and Parties blog. I tweaked them a bit and provide my version of the recipes below.
I liked the taco soup (I made it once a few years ago) although it was pretty spicy. I originally got it as a Weight Watchers recipe. If you use lean ground beef or turkey it is pretty low in fat and calories - if you limit your toppings. Now the corn casserole (I have also made it before) was YUMMY...and definitely not Weight Watchers!

-1 can pinto beans (drain)

*shredded cheese, black olives, green onions, sour cream, Fritos, or tortilla chips to go on top.
Directions -
-Brown the meat with salt, pepper, and chopped onions.
