- Add taco seasoning and incorporate well before adding enough water to just make it saucy.
- Turn heat down to medium and add kidney beans, corn,and pepper and chillies if using. Stir well to combine, and simmer for a few minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350F

- *I buy taco seasoning in a large tub at Costco and just use 2-3 heaping spoonfuls instead of a package of seasoning
