I cook then freeze ground beef (cooked with onion, salt and pepper) in 1-pound Food Saver baggies so all I have to do is thaw a bag of beef & omit the onion.

1-1/2 LB lean ground beef
1 lg. onion
2 15-oz cans chopped or crushed tomatoes
1 15-oz can corn
1 15-oz can red kidney beans
1 15-oz can pinto beans
1 4-oz can chopped green chiles
1 pkg taco seasoning
1 pkg Hidden Valley Ranch Original, dry mix
1-1/2 C chicken broth

In a large pot, saute the meat and onions until no pink remains; drain off fat. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
