Taco Meat

Oh my, this turned out to be the best taco meat ever! Yes, brown the meat first. if you don't and mix the spices and flour into the meat before hand, it is hard to know when the meat is done cooking. Also, I would cut back by 1/2 on the flour and I added Worcestershire Sauce because I love that in my taco meat. Make a bunch cuz it is even better on day 2! I will be visiting my daughter in law this summer and, as tacos are my sons favorite meal, I will be taking a jar of the mix as a gift.

We love this taco meat! I triple the recipe and use ground turkey. Also, I cook the meat first, drain off the fat, then add the seasonings. I've made it as written before and having the fat in there was just a bit to gross for me. Also unhealthy. I love the combination of the spices, though! Thanks for posting!

This was the first time I have ever made Taco Meat without using those awful seasoning packets. This was absolutely wonderful. Just the smell of all those seasonings had my mouth watering. And the flavor is the best. I used ground chuck so there was very little fat, and I doubled the receipe because I was making a very large batch for a fundraising luncheon. And what made it even better is that I had EVERY seasoning in my spice rack already. This is great! Thanks for sharing.

This was great stuff...soooo much better than when you use that nasty taco seasoning from the store. Our new go-to taco seasoning. Wouldn't change a thing. Just perfect. Enough spice to make the adults happy but not too much for the kids. Thanks for sharing this great recipe.

This is really good. I browned the ground beef first, and drained the grease off. I used only 1/8 cup flour, and blended the seasonings with the water, then added it to the pan. This is as good as the packaged seasoning mixes. It also definitely was more convenient than having to go to the store for a package of taco seasoning. Thank you for such a good & easy recipe. :)

This had a wonderful texture and flavor for taco meat. I used 97% lean beef, half whole wheat and enriched white flour and heaped up on the chili powder. I am going to try next time to cook the meat separate and drain to cut down on the fat... I'll let you know how it turns out. Thank you for the recipe.

Just made a large (5 lb.) batch of this as my mom has requested a Mexican meal for Mother's Day this weekend. I am going to freeze it and reheat in crockpot, adding a little water as it came out pretty thick. I didn't read the reviews like I usually do or I would have cut the flour by 1/2. The flavor is great, anyone who wants it spicier can pile on the hot sauce and jalapenos! Thanks for the recipe!

This was OK. I followed the recipe exactly, except I used left over roast beef. It had way too much flour, and I will probably not use any at all next time. I kept having to add water to it because it turned to glue. Because of that, I had to add more seasonings to get some flavor because it got diluted with the water that I had to add. The seasonings were good, but the whole process left a lot to be desired for us.

This is the best recipe I've found. I did make a few mods for our family. I omitted the flour (gluten allergy) and I add maybe a tablespoom of tomato paste, then cook it all in well. I've taken to making large batches in the slow cooker, then freezing the unused part in bags to make taco nights convenient indeed.

what a hit! i had to add a little more water than what the recipe called for because the consistency just looked a little too dry. i usually make this with black beans, rice, guacamole, and creme fresh and roll it all into burritos. so long taco seasoning packets!

Awesome taco meat. I really didn't think I'd like it over the "packaged" seasoning, but I sure did. Our family eats a lot of tacos so I was hesitant in changing it up. Now we've got a new taste! Thanks for sharing.

sorry this just wasn't for us. the only thing i did differently was i cooked the meat then drained off the fat, then i added the seasonings, 1/2 of the flour and water. the chili powder was a little over powering, it was still edible with all the taco fixins but not quite what we are used to.
thanks for posting

I just cooked the meat, drained, added the spices, water and flour. Cooked til heated. I salted the hamburger while cooking meat with the salt skaker instead of measuring out salt. Almost tasted like Taco Bell meat with the same consistency which we like. We got hot salsa for those of us who prefer a more spicy taco. Will make these again.

I found this taco meat extremely salty. I don't know if I did something wrong since everyone else seems to like it, but if I make it again I will definitely cut back or cut out all of the salt. I also only used 1/8 cup flour and the texture was great.
