Saute beef with onion till cooked in a large pot. Add tomatoes, drained corn, tomato sauce, taco seasoning, ranch seasoning and then drained and rinsed beans in that order (why, I have no idea, that's just what the original recipe said...). I sometimes have to add a half or a whole cup of water to get it to the consistency that I want. Simmer for one half hour or on low before serving. Top with shredded cheese, corn chips, sour cream, etc.
