Taco Soup

What can you make that's quicker than chili but tastes somewhat the same? Why, by George, you can make taco soup.

It's been so rainy and cold here lately that I've been craving chili but with our crazy schedules, I haven't had time to make a good pot of the stuff. This taco soup is so easy that a 5 year old could put it together. Brown some ground beef, throw in a diced onion, and dump in a million cans of things. Simple!
