Here are the measurements for one meal's worth...as adapted by me for my family's preferences.
1.5 lbs ground beef, cooked with onion and garlic.
3 cups tomato puree- we do not care for tomato chunks in our soup
1 c tomato sauce
1 15 oz can refried beans- slightly thickens the soup and we LOVE refried beans
2 cups salsa- we have a produce stand that sells a pico style salsa that is DELCIOUS...but Costco's Organic salsa is also very tasty...be careful though, sometimes it has a bite.
1 can pinto beans
1 can chili beans- not chili
1 can kidney beans
3 c water
1 pkg. taco seasoning
After the beef is cooked, dump everything in the bag. I use empty #10 cans to set my bags in to help with finishing this recipe. That is one of the best things I learned from our freezer meal sessions. Sometimes I stir everything up in a LARGE pot first to break up the refried beans and just measure into the bags, but most of the time I just dump it into the bags. I HIGHLY recommend using 2 gallon bags for this OR making a double batch and dividing it between three bags.
You can use Rotel or diced green chiles in this if you like, we prefer it without.
To cook: Thaw and pour contents of the bag into the crock pot...cook on low 6 ish hours or heat in a pan until hot. Serve with cilantro, sour cream, cheese and corn chips.
Enjoy!

This is our Sunday meal for the month of October. We just come home from church and put it on the table with some tortilla chips, grated cheese and chopped onions, with banana muffins on the side.
