Taco Cupcakes

Taco Cupcakes
makes 18 cupcakes


1 lb ground beef
1 packet taco seasoning
2/3 cup water
1 can black beans, drained (I omitted beans as I am not a huge fan)
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
36 wonton wrappers (In your dressing/lettuce/tofu grocery isle)
your favorite taco toppings - salsa, cheese, sour cream, lettuce, tomatoes, etc
cooking spray

Preheat oven to 375.

Brown the meat in a skillet and drain off fat. Return the meat to the skillet; add the taco seasoning, water and black beans. Mix and simmer for 5 minutes, until water is absorbed.

Spray 18 regular muffin pan cups with cooking spray. Place one wonton wrapper in each muffin cup. Divide half of the taco meat between muffin cups. Sprinkle half of the cheese over the cupcakes. Repeat layers - wonton, taco meat and cheese. Bake at 375 for 10-15 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly. Top with your favorite taco toppings.

Ranch Burgers

So I learned this trick from my sister in law Christal. It makes delicious, flavorful, juicy burgers.

Makes 6 burgers

2 lbs ground beef (73/27 if you want them juicy)
1 packet Ranch dip mix
1/3 cup flour

Mix ingredients together and form patties.
Cook on grill, george foreman, or whatever works best for you!

I served this last night with a guacamole, mayo, lettuce, medium sharp cheddar on a nice bun and they were pretty close to Red Robin status (which is one of my favorite restaurant burgers).

Serve  with fries! (I used the Ore Ida Waffle Fry variety)
Enjoy!
