1/4 c beef stock or water
SPICES
1 Tbsp chili powder (i like hot)
1/2 tsp hungarian paprika
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt, kosher variety, or to taste
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
1/4 c yellow onion, finely chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Gather your ingredients.

  • 4. Place the ground beef in a mixing bowl.
  • 5. Add the dry spices, the onion, and 4 tablespoons of beef stock or water.
  • 6. Mix the ingredients together.
  • 7. Chef's Note: You don't have to go too crazy with the mixing. Just get them combined. They will have plenty of time in the slow cooker to get to know each other.
  • 8. Add the mixture to the slow cooker, and then add the remaining beef stock, or water.
  • 9. Set your slow cooker to low, and set a timer for two hours.
  • 10. After two hours open the slow cooker, and breakup the taco meat.
  • 11. Return the cover to the slow cooker, and set the timer for an additional two hours.
  • 12. After two hours, open slow cooker and again break the meat apart.
  • 13. Chef's Tip: You might want to have some additional beef broth on hand, just in case the taco meat begins to dry out.
  • 14. Close the lid, and set the timer for the last two hours.
  • 15. At the end of six hours total time, remove that wonderful smelling taco meat from the slow cooker.

  • 17. What you do at this point is totally up to you. It goes good on a taco salad, stuffed shells; just plain old tacos, or anything else you can come up with. Enjoy.
  • 18. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
