What ground beef do I use?
You want to use a 70-80% lean ground beef for taco meat. The fat helps to give flavor. Just ensure to drain off the fat prior to adding the water and taco seasoning.

hi! I'm shannon
I’m a wife, mom of three, doctor, and blogger! In 2018, I decided to turn my mom blog, into a personal finance blog so others could follow along on our journey to pay off over HALF a MILLION dollars in student loan and practice start up debt. I hope you enjoy following along, and maybe even find some inspiration along the way.
