Add all 7 cans to ground beef, onion and garlic mixture.   Do not drain the tomatoes, beans and Rotel but drain the canned corn.

    5. I always have several cans of RoTel on hand!! I love RoTel! I can see why Michelle loves to make this Taco Soup – it's easy, hearty and uses RoTel! 🙂

    6. This is fantastic! Love that you don't have to do a lot of chopping for the tomatoes. Rotel sure comes in handy.

    9. I've eaten taco soup before, but it was bland. Your recipe, with the Rotel, Taco Seasoning and Ranch Salad Dressing mix sounds like it would have the "punch" I've been looking for. Thanks for the recipe! How many hopefuls does this usually make?
