We have more taco meat then you could ever imagine. Five one-pound bags to be exact.
A couple of weekends ago I hosted (with the help of some lovely ladies) my best friend Nicole & her fiance's couples shower. It was more perfect than I had of hoped it would be and I'm so thankful for all of their friends and family for helping make the evening so wonderful! So... we had a taco bar for dinner. I bought eight - yes, EIGHT pounds of ground beef. My wonderful husband cooked it all up (and it was delicious!) and we served it straight out of our fancy-schmancy crockpot. I figured that eight pounds would be just enough for 30 people. Haha...
**note to self -- ALWAYS underestimate party food!
Anyways, being that we have SO much taco meat in our fridge/freezer, I've had to get creative with meals we can have. Last week we had taco pasta which was pretty good. Today, we had taco quiche. It was scrumptious.
One pound browned taco meat (The recipe called for sauteed onions and green chiles, but we leave that kinda stuff out in this household:)
Half a cup of milk -- I used reduced fat
Half a cup of sour cream -- reduced fat, again
One cup of shredded cheese -- Monterrey Jack
Half a cup of Bisquik
Two eggs
Cover the bottom of a greased pie dish with taco meat, cover with cheese
Combine eggs, milk, sour cream and bisquik and pour over the top of meat and cheese
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until set
ENJOY :)
