Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 2 tbsp taco seasoning
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess fat.
- Add taco seasoning and half a cup of water to the cooked beef. Stir and simmer until thickened.
