Preparation

Step 1

Mix together and store in airtight container until ready to use (up to one year).
To cook, add 1 lb ground beef and 1/3 cup water per 2 tablespoons taco seasoning. Simmer uncovered on low for 5-10 minutes.
Gradual Make Ahead Method:
To freeze taco meat, allow to cool completely. Then add meal size portions to freezer bag or container. Label and date.
When ready to serve, remove from freezer and cook in covered skillet on low until heated through.
Alternately, you can add 2 tablespoons water to frozen contents and cook on low in a slow cooker for 4-6 hours or until heated through
