Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs Lean or Extra Lean Ground Beef
  • 1 cup Salsa I use mild to allow for all to enjoy. You can up the spice factor afterwards with additional toppings and sauces
  • 4 tbsp Taco Seasoning I use Ortega because it's delicious and fast. You can make your own taco seasoning if you have time!

Equipment

  • Crock Pot

Method
 

  1. Spray crock pot with nonstick cooking spray
  2. Place ground beef in the crock pot...do not break up the meat. Just take it out of the package and place in the crock pot!
  3. Pour the salsa on top of the meat
  4. Sprinkle taco seasoning on top of salsa
  5. No need to mix anything at this point...let the crock pot do the magic!
  6. For best results, cover and cook on LOW until the meat is cooked (no pink), about 8-10 hours depending on your crock pot
  7. 40 minutes before serving, break up the meat with a large spoon and mix everything together
  8. 20 minutes before serving, give the meat another stir in the crock pot with a large spoon to ensure everything is well mixed together!
  9. Serve the meat hot on taco shells
  10. Add toppings of your choice!
  11. Enjoy! You may or may not have leftovers!
