Before you start
Gather the ingredients and the pan or pot before turning on the heat. These steps keep the cooking efficient while still spelling out the key heat settings, doneness cues, and safe handling details.
Safe temp: Ground meat
160Β°F Β· Use a food thermometer
1. Cook the beef
Turn off the burner before draining excess grease into a heat-safe container. Never pour hot grease into the sink. Return the skillet to the burner and continue with the seasoning or sauce.
Ground meat: 160Β°F. Use a food thermometer and check the middle of the patty or crumble cluster once it is nearly done.
2. Step 2
Add taco seasoning and a splash of water. Use the listed pan or pot over moderate heat, stir or turn as needed, and continue until the visual cue in this step is reached.
3. Step 3
Spread the listed topping evenly over the food without pressing it down, then continue to the next cooking step.
4. Step 4
Cover until the cheese melts. Use the listed pan or pot over moderate heat, stir or turn as needed, and continue until the visual cue in this step is reached.
5. Finish and serve
Turn off the heat, portion the hot food over the listed base, and add toppings in order. Handle the plate or bowl carefully because the food may be hot.
