JOSE TACO

Jose Taco Night is a YUMMY night! I make a batch of this and everyone has their own way of eating it! My husband and son like taco shells/burrito wraps, the girls and I tend to like taco salads. A lot of times I find the kids making nacho for snacks and sometimes even a meal! No matter which way you serve these the Jose Taco mixture is delicious!

This is ALWAYS my standard meat for Taco anything! Depending on which way you choose to serve it – it makes a GREAT meal or dip! I like using this recipe in my crockpot – using the crockpot makes it nice for parties/holidays ~ it frees up your stove and it stays warm!

There are so many possibilities with this recipe! Place the mixture in flour tortillas for a burrito, tacos, taco salad, walking tacos, dip — OR — To make Jose Taco Soup, add a 29-ounce can of tomato sauce to the slow cooker. It will serve 6-8. — OR — For an ever-better dip – add a jar of Salsa Cheese Queso.

Once ground beef is browned – drain any excess grease – return to stove/place meat in crock pot.

Mix well cook on low 20-30 minutes or longer – stir occasionally. Prior to serving stir in 2 cups shredded cheese.
