Amy Jean’s Kitchen: Ready-To-Go-Beef Taco Filling (Pioneer Woman: Dinnertime)

.

I think tacos are one of the few things I actually like

to cook because they are quick, easy, and um absolutely

delicious! Now in all honesty, there wasn’t anything super

special about these tacos, but y’all I am not going to complain.

I will eat any tacos anytime! Personally, I think the best part

about this recipe is that you can make big batches and freeze

what you don’t eat. Now those are my kind of meals!

Ingredients:

4 lbs ground beef

Two 10-ounce cans Mexican Red Sauce or Red Enchilada Sauce

2 tbsp. Chili Powder

1 tsp. Cayenne Powder

1 tbsp. Ground Cumin

2 tsp. Garlic Salt

2 tsp. Kosher Salt

1 tbsp. Black Pepper

.

Steps:

In a large pot, brown the beef over medium-high heat.

Drain off the excess fat, leaving behind

a little bit for moisture and flavor. 

.

Add the red sauce along with the chili powder, cayenne, cumin, garlic

salt, kosher salt, and black pepper.

.

Pour in 1 ½ cups water then stir it around, reduce the

heat, cover the pot, and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

.

Let the meat cool, then (if freezing)  package it in quart size

freezer bags and freeze them flat for easy stacking.
