Better Than Taco Bell

and that IS a complement from my children....

Yeah, I know pretty sad...
and seriously they might get a trip to the Bell twice a year...at the MOST!

but hey, if they think that's a complement and they devour the food...and it's a lot healthier than the Bell...then I'll make it over and over again...

Here is my recipe for any meat that you need for a mexican'ish type dinner...
ground beef, shredded beef, chicken, pork...works for them all...
and the meat is great for tacos, burritos, enchiladas, nachos, taco salad, you get the idea...

it's a wonderful throw down meal, three ingredients...
and you don't have to make this in the crock, you can do it on the good ol' stove if you forgot to put it in the pot before you walked out the door in the morning!

so for the sake of the recipe I will use ground beef

Taco/Mexican'ish Meat
1 lb ground beef
1 package taco seasoning mix
1 package onion soup mix
1/2 cup water

put all into your crock pot, stir and set on low for up to 8 hours or high for 4 hours...stir whenever you think of it, if you're home...if not, no big deal...


if you want more meat just double the taco seasoning add a little more water, I wouldn't add more onion soup mix until you get to 3 lbs meat...

I have done with with a beef and a pork roast and shredded (or pulled) the meat with a fork when it's done, so good...or a few chicken breast and shred or cube up when it's all done...all ended with the same 'complement' from the kids....

and I usually double the meat and put the leftovers in the fridge for another meal later in the week...but we do eat Mexican a lot around here!
