my grandma hope was famous for her veggie packed taco filling! since you make it in large batches & freeze it in containers, it is perfect for those busy nights, when you need something yummy & nutritious on the table quickly. give it a try & i promise you won't we disappointed!
{grandma hope's taco filling}
6 lbs. lean ground beef, browned & drained
2 green peppers, chopped
1 yellow onion, chopped
6 potatoes, peeled & grated
6 carrots, peeled & grated
1 pint ketchup
1- 46 oz. can tomato juice
3 packages taco seasoning
In a very large pot or electric skillet, brown ground beef & drain off fat. Add peppers, onions, potatoes & carrots. Stir until combined. Add in ketchup, tomato juice & taco seasoning.
Simmer for about 3 hours, or until veggies are tender. Makes enough for a very large crown, or as I prefer- place in tupperware containers & freeze until needed. Perfect for tacos, nachos, taco salads, etc.!
I made this exactly as directed, and it's delicious! Make sure that you have a big enough pot to make this in, as the recipe made enough to fill my 8 quart stock pot almost to the brim, just be forewarned. I was able to fill 9 containers, all of which I tossed into my freezer for future dinners. I made sure to grab a taste before I froze it, and it was so good! Thank you for a tasty and time saving recipe!
