Just a Buffalo Mighty Taco Beef Thing
It's 2 AM. You have had too many Blues. You know what to do.
Ingredients
- 3 lbs ground beef
- 9 cups water
- 14.5 oz can no-salt-added diced tomatoes with juices
- 3 medium-large onions diced
- 2 medium cloves garlic. minced
- 1 fresh jalapeno pepper de-seeded and minced or 1 tablespoon dried diced jalapeno pepper
- 2 tbsp honey
- 3 tbsp tomato paste
- 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 3 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tbsp coarse kosher salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- 1 tbsp ground cumin
Instructions
- Add the beef and 8 cups water to a 5.5-quart pot over high heat. Bring to a boil, and then once it boils, turn the heat down so it doesn’t boil over.
- Cook (uncovered, not you, the pot) for 45 minutes.
- Skim the fat as it rises to the top, and stir occasionally.
- Stir in all remaining ingredients along with 1 cup of water.
- Turn the heat back up to high, and let it come to a boil. Once boiling, turn the heat down so the mixture stays at a steady simmer.
- Cover the pot this time, and cook around 3 hours until the liquid gone. Give it an occasional stir.
- Use the beef to make tacos or ... giggle... taco salad.
- Grab some soft tortillas, shredded lettuce , sliced tomatoes, and your favorite cheesy cheese.
- Pick salsa, sour cream, or guacamole – make it how you like it!
- EAT IT.
- PS: This meat stuff might even taste better the next day.
