Today will not be known as Taco Tuesday. It will be known as freedom Friday, but still on a Tuesday!
Just kidding. But seriously, can you name the movie that quote is from?
If you guessed the Lego Movie, you are correct. You also probably have it memorized like I do, am I right? That movie is the #1 watched movie of ALL TIME in my house. When we road trip, Mike and I will actually listen to it as well because it’s seriously so darn funny and cute.
Other than that craziness, two more things came to mind when I was writing up this recipe.
Man, I stinkin’ love tacos. So much. They are so easy and no one in my family complains because they can customize them to their own tastes. Let’s repeat that last bit… no one in my family complains. Miracles do happen.
Where did time go? I’ve had a great time testing out eight recipes for Campbell’s and writing them up on my site to share with all of you. This is my last one for now, however.
I’ve been wanting to make Classic Weeknight Taco’s since the beginning and the time has now come for me to try them out. They are easily customizable to suit your family. Mike can’t eat peppers of any type, so I’ve omitted them in my recipe and the Rose doesn’t like onion. Fair enough, those two things were omitted but that’s what makes all these recipes so easy and great. It’s all about using the soups as a great base flavor and then changing it around to suit your family.
Can we talk about ground beef for a moment?
Am I the only person who rinses it with hot water and drains it when she makes it?
This is another step that I add to any recipe using ground beef. I don’t like the grease that not rinsing it adds to a meal. You simply cook it, fill your pan with hot water and drain it. It removes a ton of calories and fat from your meal and honestly, it tastes better.
These tacos are saucier than you will be used to, which we loved and as an added bonus, the meat will make a fabulous taco salad topping because of it. The kids both inhaled them (win!)and I loved how easy they were to make.
Happy cooking everyone!
Love,

I like the cheese melted and so add that right after the meat, following the rest of the toppings I use.

My family also loves tacos. I like the no complaints part .. LOL
I put the hamburger in a colander and run hot water over it. I like it that way also, less fat
