Taco Meat
- Ready In:
- 1hr
- Ingredients:
- 4
- Yields:
-
1 skillet
ingredients
- 2 lbs ground beef or 2 lbs ground chuck
- 1 (16 ounce) can refried beans (larger if preferred)
- 1 package boil-in-the-bag rice
- 1 1⁄2 - 2 packages taco seasoning, to taste
directions
- Brown meat, drain fat off. You can also rinse the meat with a colander to get more of the grease off, for those that choose to do so.
- While the meat is browning, I boil the rice too. And as for the other ingredients, I prep the lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, & shells, etc... too.
- When the meat and rice are done, add the refried beans, rice, seasoning, and about 1/2 to 1 cup of water to the meat, heat on medium heat until just starting to boil, reduce heat to simmer, it will take awhile for this to cook down.
- Stir occasionally to blend ingredients while cooking. I always check out the taste, to see if the seasoning is right, spicy enough, and add more if needed.
- I use 2 lbs of meat when I cook this, as I love Mexican dishes, also I like my meat spicy, so I use at least 2 pkgs of seasoning, sometimes more. The meat, beans, & rice soak up a lot of the seasoning, so I check it often, during cooking, to see if I need more. Then, after the desired consistency is reached, dig in! It's time to eat!

I like being around friends, listening to music, playing on computers, cooking, learning new recipes, watching movies, eating good food & desserts. I also like going to concerts, and being on the river, canoeing. One of my pet peeves, I can't stand dirty dishes! If I had a month free, I'd spend it on the beach in Florida!
