1 lb. ground beef
1 pkg. (1 1/4 oz.) taco seasoning mix
1 can (46 oz. or 6 c.) tomato juice
1 can (15 3/4 oz.) chili hot beans, undrained
1 pkg. (16 oz. or 3 c.) frozen mixed vegetables
1 can (12 oz.) tomato paste
2 c. crushed corn chips
8 oz. (2 c.) shredded Cheddar cheese

In a 5 quart Dutch oven, brown ground beef; drain. Add taco seasoning mix, tomato juice, chili beans, frozen vegetables and tomato paste; mix well. Bring to boil. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered, 20-25 minutes or until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally. Top each serving with corn chips and Cheddar cheese. Makes 6-8 large servings, or 10-12 small. Really warms you up on a cold winters day.
