TACO MEAT WITH HIDDEN VEGGIES OAMC
Taco meat has so many spices that you can easily hide veggies. This recipe is really low fat, has a lot of protein and all the nutrients of your veggies. Yes, you can see the beans and potatoes and even a little green, but it tates great. Once you get used to the idea, you can make lots of substitutions. When we have fresh veggies or potatoes left over, I just chop them up and throw them in the freezer for next time I make a big batch of taco meat. After we cook a big batch, we freeze meal-sized portions in Ziploc bags. This recipe lasts us about 4 months.

Steps:
- Put the meat in a large pot along with several cups of water (enough to make it like a thick stew).
- Boil the meat until it is all browned. (boiling makes it easier to make sure that it is cooked all the way through and also gives you smaller chunks of meat).
- Strain off the extra water.
- Use a food processor or a cheese shredder to shred onions,carrots, green peppers, zucchini, and celery. Throw the veggie mix in a frying pan and let it cook on low until all the veggies arevery soft.
- Soak TVP in water to reconstitute according to the directions.
- Combine meat, TVP, veggies, potatoes, salsa, beans, jalepenos, green chilies, and spinach in the large pot.
- Add water according to taco mix directions.
- Add taco mix and chili powder.

TACO SOUP (OAMC)
I found this recipe at a Pampered Chef "Power Cooking" show. It was served there and was so good. I came home and made it as part of my OAMC. It was great, even after being frozen. For my family, I make the whole recipe and then halve it when I put it into my freezer. Each bag makes about 6-8 servings, so this recipe will feed my family multiple times. Cook time doesn't include the cooling time before freezing.

Steps:
- Brown the meat with the onions in an 8-qrt stockpot.
- When cooked all the way through, add remaining ingredients and cook over medium heat for 30 minutes.
- Eat now if you are not freezing it. Top with grated cheese, sour cream, tortilla chips, etc.
- If freezing, let cool completely and pour into freezer bags. First mark the bags with "Taco Soup, Reheat to Serve" and the date.
- I usually let the bag partially thaw, enough to get it out of the bag and then heat over low until warmed through.
