2 lb. ground beef
1 sm. onion, chopped
3 (4 oz.) cans green chilies, chopped
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
1 (15 oz.) can pinto beans
1 (16 oz.) can lima beans
1 (16 oz.) can kidney beans
1 (14 1/2 oz.) can hominy
1 (1 1/4 oz.) pkg. taco seasoning
1 1/2 c. water
1 (1 oz.) pkg. dry Ranch dressing mix
3 (14 1/2 oz.) cans stewed tomatoes
Shredded cheese (optional)
Tortilla chips (optional)

In large Dutch oven or kettle, brown beef and onion. Drain any fat. Drain all the beans. Add all ingredients except cheese and chips. Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes. I usually add about 1 cup of water more to be more "soupy." Yield: about 10 servings.
