  • 1 packet (1 ounce) taco seasoning

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it into crumbles. Drain any excess grease.
  2. Pour the can of diced tomatoes (undrained) into the skillet with the browned ground beef.
  3. Add the taco seasoning to the beef and tomatoes. Stir well to ensure even distribution.
  4. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Notes

  • For chili, replace diced tomatoes with chili beans.
  • For pasta sauce, swap taco seasoning for marinara sauce.
  • For Sloppy Joes, use Manwich sauce instead of taco seasoning.
  • For Shepherd’s Pie topping, combine ground beef with cream of mushroom soup.
  • For Beef and Rice Bowls, mix cooked rice with taco meat and toppings like sour cream, cheese, and avocado.
