I had Taco's just the other day (this website actually made me try 'em for the first time a while back).

I'll have to try this.

If only I got more people in my house to eat this together...I was hoping for a smaller, 1 or 1½ servings version of The Helper Recipes. Don't have much money now that I had bought some gifts since Christmas. I do love The Helper for sharing with all of this. It was totally unexpected for a tech forum to share cooking topics.

If you want a half serving cut the ingredients in half. Only use a pound of hamburger meat and one pack of seasoning, and half as much of everything else. Still cook it for the same amount of time though and do everything else the same. If you want smaller then just keep proportionally reducing the ingredients. You will need something to bake it in though if you go smaller than a pan you have.

Isn't it awesome?
You should learn to cook! It is definitely very important. You know.
Well, It doesn’t make any difference whether you are a Male or a Female. lol

I agree, I can't tell you how many times "Come over, I'll cook you dinner" or something of the such has worked for me. haha
You'd be surprised how much girls like having dinner cooked for them. It will work out in your favor if you can cook.

This recipe is under review. I am going to make a scaled down version of this and update the recipe to that instead of the current one. The current recipe does not scale down to a pound of meat right now like I want it to. If you are doing 3 lbs of meat though, this recipe hits it there!
