Taco chili

We kind of wimped out on the dinner and a movie night last night. It was too chilly to go to the park for a movie, so we stayed home. The West Wing goes perfectly with any type of food!

Taco Chili
1 pound ground beef
1 1.2-ounce package taco seasoning mix
2 15-ounce cans chunky Mexican-style tomatoes
1 15-ounce can red kidney beans
1/2 cup hot water
shredded cheese, sour cream and fritos for toppings

1. In a large skillet, cook ground beef until brown. Drain fat.
2. In a 3.5 to 4 quart slow cooker combine the cooked ground beef, taco seasoning mix, undrained tomatoes, undrained beans and hot water. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 4 to 6 hours or on high-heat setting for 2 to 3 hours.
3. Top with cheese, sour cream and fritos.

(PS - does anyone out there have another show as good as The West Wing? This is our third time through the series (all seven seasons) in less than three years, so it's probably time to start something else.)

We are totally addicted to 24. We got the first 4 seasons from the library, season 5 from Blockbuster and watched 6 online. Season 7 starts in Jan. We did all that in about 3 months! It is so hard to not put the next disc in. It is real time so each episode is really an hour of the day. Each season is one day (24 hours). You should try to get 1 and see if you like it :) or should I say, see if you can stop at 1!

I would suggest Medium, Heroes and the Closer in the summer.

Also, pictures of the completed meals would be great! :)
