Strange twists...GM's Hummer goes Chinese. Bobbi's salsa becomes pot roast. In the end, we're all eatin' soup.

11:00 p.m., Bobbi fires up the slow cooker.

Large onion chopped

June 6
NY Times asks, "What would Mao drive? A little red Hummer."
Bobbi has enough RED hot Taco Soup to feed the Red Army

Remaining pot roast cut into cubes
Remaining veggies from roast with juice
1 can corn (low/no sodium)
1 can kidney beans (rinsed)
1 can black beans (rinsed)
1 packet hot taco seasoning
1 packet ranch dressing mix

Cook all ingredients until piping hot. Freeze the leftovers and wash the dishes...fast...GM is unloading Hummer as we speak!

Best,
Bobbi
