Navajo Tacos

Meat & Bean Mixture:
1 lb ground beef – cooked and crumbled
1 packet taco seasoning (follow instructions on packet and add to the beef)
2 cups pinto beans (you can use 1 (15 oz) can pinto beans, or cook raw beans in a crock pot like I did. 1 cup of raw beans will make about 3 cups of cooked beans.)
Stir the beans and hamburger together

Also provided with your meal:
2 c. shredded cheddar cheese
1 container of sour cream
16 frozen Rhodes rolls
¾ cup powdered sugar

You will need vegetable oil for frying rolls
Suggested toppings:
Shredded lettuce
Diced tomatoes
Chopped onions
Salsa

TO PREPARE: Thaw and heat the beef and beans. Thaw rolls and work into flat circles. Fry each side in vegetable oil at 375° until golden brown. Place desired amount of beef and beans on the scone and top with cheese, sour cream, and other desired toppings. If you have left over scones, you may shake the warm scones in a baggie with powdered sugar for dessert.

Tomato Bacon Pasta

1 pkg. of bacon
 A sliver of garlic
 28 oz. can of diced tomatoes
 1 Tbsp. of olive oil
 1 box of pasta

Cook bacon with garlic, drain most of the grease, add the diced tomatoes and olive oil and simmer.
I was told by several people that this meal didn't freeze well with the noodles in it, so I am bringing the mixture frozen and the box of pasta separate.

Hi Ladies! I plan to make a taco soup but am not sure what type of container to freeze it in. I've never frozen soups before. Any suggestions???

Besides these ingredients, it's suggested to serve it with corn chips, cheddar cheese, and a dollop of sour cream on top. Yum!
