Instructions

• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 pound ground beef and break it into pieces with a spatula. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and no pink remains (about 7–10 minutes).
• Carefully drain off and discard excess grease from the skillet.
• Return the skillet to medium heat and add 1 Tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, and 8 ounces tomato sauce. Stir thoroughly to combine the spices and sauce with the beef.
• Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until most of the liquid is gone, stirring occasionally.
• Remove from heat and use the taco meat to fill taco shells or in any recipe that calls for taco meat.
