Step-by-Step Instructions
First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While that’s warming up, I like to get my ingredients prepped. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until it’s fully cooked. Use a wooden spoon to break it apart as it cooks. Once the meat is browned, I stir in the taco seasoning and follow with a few spoonfuls of water, just as the packet suggests. This step packs in the flavor! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
