Taco Meat

4 ingredients
11 steps

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 12-2 packages taco seasoning, to taste

Directions

  1. 1
    Brown meat, drain fat off.
  2. 2
    You can also rinse the meat with a colander to get more of the grease off, for those that choose to do so.
  3. 3
    While the meat is browning, I boil the rice too.
  4. 4
    And as for the other ingredients, I prep the lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, & shells, etc... too.
  5. 5
    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.
  6. 6
    Stir occasionally to blend ingredients while cooking.
  7. 7
    I always check out the taste, to see if the seasoning is right, spicy enough, and add more if needed.
  8. 8
    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.
  9. 9
    The meat, beans, & rice soak up a lot of the seasoning, so I check it often, during cooking, to see if I need more.
  10. 10
    Then, after the desired consistency is reached, dig in!
  11. 11
    It's time to eat!
