Ingredients

3

lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef

2

packages (1 oz each) Old El Paso™ taco seasoning mix

Preparation

In 5-quart Dutch oven or 12-inch skillet, cook beef over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until thoroughly cooked; drain.

Reduce heat to medium. Stir in taco seasoning mix. Cook 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until flavors are blended. Cool 5 minutes.

Line 15x10x1-inch pan with foil. Spoon beef onto foil and break apart as necessary.

Smooth meat into an even layer across pan.

Freeze about 1 hour, stirring once, until firm.

Divide mixture into quart-sized resealable freezer plastic bags with about 2 cups in each. (One lb ground beef yields about 2 cups, cooked and drained.) Seal bags, label and freeze up to 2 months.
