Game 7 of the “Fall Classic” – Recipes for every game of the 2011 World Series
Wow, what a game! I’m still wound up from all the excitement of game 6, and the Tillamook Beer and Cheese Spread of course!
For the seventh and final recipe, let’s enjoy a hearty Taco Soup – my mom’s recipe deliciously topped with Tillamook Cheese and sour cream.
INGREDIENTS
1 pound lean ground meat (beef or turkey)
1 large onion, chopped
2 cans black beans
1 can pinto beans
1 can black eyed peas
2 cans chopped tomatoes
2 cans “rotel” tomatoes
1 bag or box frozen corn
1 envelope taco seasoning mix (add another, if desired)
1 envelope ranch salad dressing mix
2 cups Tillamook Monterey Jack, shredded
Tillamook Sour Cream, as a topping
PREPARATION
Brown meat and onion together in a soup pot. Add all other ingredients (undrained) to the pot. Simmer until well mixed.
Serve the soup with shredded cheese and/or sour cream on top. Also serve with corn tortilla chips. This dish freezes well if you have leftovers!
Fun baseball fact: Babe Ruth, one of the most famous baseball players, used to place a (cabbage) leaf beneath his cap and change it every two innings. I wonder why he didn’t slice off some BABY Loaf and put that under his hat for good luck?
