• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 packet taco seasoning

Kitchen Equipment

• Large skillet
• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper (optional)
• Mixing spoon
• Measuring cup

Step 1: Prepare the Oven

Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.

Step 2: Cook the Ground Beef

Place a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the ground beef and cook until fully browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Continue stirring occasionally until no pink remains.

Once cooked, drain any excess grease from the skillet.

Step 3: Season the Beef

Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the cooked beef.

Follow the seasoning packet instructions, usually adding a small amount of water and simmering for a few minutes until the mixture thickens.

Remove the skillet from the heat and allow the beef mixture to cool slightly.
