Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef lean
- 4 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 2 cups salsa fresh or jarred
Instructions
- Add the ground beef to the crockpot bowl.
- Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the meat.
- Pour the salsa over the top.
- Cover and cook on high for 2 hours. Be sure to stir it every 30 minutes to break up the meat and keep it mixing.
- Drain if you prefer. Turn to low and keep warm for up to 2 hours.
Notes
- Use lean ground beef if possible. You don't want greasy tacos. You can also use meatless crumbles if you're vegetarian.
- Stir the meat every 30 minutes to break up any clumps.
- Use your favorite taco seasoning. I like homemade!
- I don’t drain my meat after I cook it because it keeps it moist. Just a personal preference, so you do you.
- Add 1/4 – 1/2 cup water or broth when using ground turkey or ground chicken because it's so lean.
- Spice it up by adding a a can of chopped green chilies or diced jalapeños to the meat when cooking.
