So to kick off the fall pumpkin fun festive season I decided to start off with a fun special dinner for my husband and daughter. This quick and easy dinner was loved and so here it is.
My husband and 12 year old daughter thought it was the coolest thing and both took pictures and enjoyed every bite. My husband didn't even get up to get hot sauce! So simple I'm going to list all the ingredients and then tell how I make my own taco seasoning which saves money and I always have on hand!
1 lb ground beef
1 onion, diced
2 slicing tomatoes, sliced then cut in 1/2
1 can black olives
Lettuce
Cheddar Cheese shredded
Sour Cream
Chips for underneath ( we used the little bags because all wanted different chips )
Taco Seasoning per lb of meat.....I don't buy it mixed any more due to the sodium and things I can't even pronounce so why do I want them? Plus I always have the following on hand.
3 TBS Chili Powder
2 TBS Cumin
2 TBS dried minced onion ( optional )
1 TBS granulated garlic
1 Tsp Salt
1 Cup Water
In large skillet brown ground beef and onions till no longer pink, then....
Add Taco Seasoning and 1 Cup water; simmer until meat is juicy and seasonings blended about 30 minutes.
Now put the chips on plate, top with as much cheese as you want then spoon meat over cheese so it melts a little....then take lettuce place 2 pieces at top, then take tomatoes place 1 1/2 slice over lettuce, then a dollop of sour cream on top of each one...then slice the black olives in halve and the ends off so you can see through them and add to sour cream for the eyes and get ready to get some big smiles for something that takes 30 minutes start to finish it that!
Happy Fall Happy 1st day of October Enjoy your Monstober Taco Salad :)
