Description
My sister-in-law, who is from Mexico, passed along this wonderful recipe. Since she prefers her foods much spicier than we do, I reduced the amount of pepper sauce, but you can add more if you prefer a bigger kick.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 4 cups cubed peeled potatoes (1/2-in. cubes)
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 3 cans (8 ounces each) tomato sauce
- 4 cups water
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1–1/2 teaspoons pepper
- 1/2 to 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
Instructions
- Brown: In a Dutch oven, brown ground beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain.
- Combine: Add the potatoes, onion and tomato sauce.
- Simmer: Stir in the water, salt, pepper and hot pepper sauce; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour or until the potatoes are tender and the soup has thickened.
Notes
You can add more hot pepper sauce if you prefer a bigger kick.
