Time for Easy Eatin' : Taco Bites!

Taco Bites... these are a flippin' lifesaver. They are easy to make, can be made two different ways, and they're quick. You could use these for a party, for a get together at work, or when you've been working all day and you want something filling with a little indulgence. Besides... it's got the word "taco" in it so it has to be good.

Taco bites are so incredibly easy that you'll be adding this to your weekly or bi-weekly grocery menu. So check it out below, then make them, fry them or bake them, and enjoy!

Ingredients:

1. Grands biscuits (use a pack with 10 biscuits inside. We used a flaky buttery biscuit, but this is your choice.Get them in the cold section of your grocery store.)
2. 1lb of hamburger meat
3. 1 packet of taco seasoning
4. 2 cups of grated cheddar cheese. (just cheat and buy the shredded cheddar at the store. We don't have time to grate our own! 

Procedure:

Gather together your ingredients, then get to work on browning that hamburger meat.

Next, follow the directions for the taco seasoning packet of your choice. Mine called for a half a cup of water, the taco seasoning, then bring that to a boil, stir, and you're done. Set it off to the side and let it cool, because you're about to get your hands dirty!

Pop those biscuits open, butter up a cookie sheet, and plop them down! You want these nice and flat but not too thin.

Add the meat....

...a little cheese... or a ton, as in my household.

Then fold one edge over to meet the other, sealing in the meat in a delicious taco pocket. Now what's next is up to you. 

If you have a fryer, or if you are patient enough to fry these on the stove, go for it! They only need to fry for about five minutes, and turn them so they get a nice golden brown all over!

If you're more health conscious, try baking them for about 15 minutes at 350. 

Let them cool, then serve them up! We added a little salsa and sour cream to the mix since these are so good for dipping. (Yes, in my house we use that much sour cream, so I buy bulk.)

I hope you enjoy this recipe. It is super easy, really fun, and absolutely delicious. Another way to add more bang is to add a little salsa in the browning process. YUM! 

Eat it up, Super Spouses!
