Irish Tacos

This is an old family recipe my great grandfather used to make. He had 5 daughters to feed and money was short so he started adding potatoes and corn to his taco recipe to make things go further. Mom and Dad Eastman have tried these and they said they liked them...I guess you can be the judge :)

Irish Tacos

1 lb ground hamburger or ground turkey
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 medium sized potato, diced
1/2 cup of frozen corn
1- 14 o.5 oz can diced tomatoes
2- 8 oz cans tomato sauce
salt & pepper to taste

Brown the hamburger or ground turkey with the diced onion until the onions are clear. Drain the fat from the meat, if desired - I always do. Add diced potato, frozen corn, diced tomatoes and tomato sauce. Add salt & pepper to taste. Simmer for about 30 minutes. You'll know it's done when the potatoes aren't crunchy anymore. Enjoy!

***Note this makes a nice size pot full. Heber and I usually have to freeze a good portion of it for later and it's still great!
