Taco Cups



This is a great throw together snack that is Super Bowl Party worthy and easy for the kids to assemble.

I borrowed a friend's daughter, Lexi, to help me out since I am daughter-less and those sons of mine don't want to help much in the kitchen. (Unless it requires making food disappear!)



You will need:

1 lg. bag taco cups (dippers)
1 lb. ground beef
Onion flakes (1 T.)-optional*
1 pkg. taco seasoning mix
Shredded cheddar or Mexican cheese
Sour cream
Sliced black olives
Salsa
*Your favorite Mexican toppings


Brown beef with onion flakes and drain.
Add taco seasoning and add water and cook (according to package directions)
Place taco cups on a large baking sheet.

Place A spoonful of beef mixture in each cup.

Top with cheese. Bake in a preheated 300 degree oven until cheese melts.
Remove from oven and add your favorite Mexican toppings.

Serve warm.
