Start by browning 2 pounds of ground beef in a large pot until no pink remains.

Drain the browned ground beef and return it to the pot.

Add 1 can of drained whole kernel corn, 1 can of diced tomatoes and green chilies, and 1 can of ranch-style beans to the pot.

Add 1 can of chili beans and a small can of mild green chilies.

Sprinkle in 1 packet of taco seasoning and 1 packet of ranch salad dressing mix.

Stir all ingredients together until well combined.

Add 1.5 cups of water to the mixture to thin it out.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover.

Let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Serve hot, optionally topped with avocado, tortilla chips, sour cream, and shredded cheese.
