Notes

 
Recipe Tips
  • Breaking up Beef - I like to break up the taco meat and stir 30 minutes before serving while it is slow cooking.
  • Browning Meat - There is no need to brown the meat prior to putting it in the slow cooker.
  • Drain Meat - Depending on the type of meat that you use, you may need to drain the meat after cooking in the slow cooker.
  • Stovetop - If you prefer you can also make taco meat on the stovetop and add in salsa and the taco seasoning.
Toppings for Taco Meat
  • Shredded cheese
  • Sour cream
  • Onion
  • Diced tomatoes
  • Lettuce
  • Salsa
  • Avocado
  • Hot Sauce
  • Jalapeno Peppers
  • Fresh Lime Juice
You can also add rice to your tacos for extra flavor. It is so tasty and a great way to stretch your meat as well. Everyone loves rice and it is such a tasty way to make your meat go further.
