Easy Taco Salad

I tweeted about this earlier, so I thought hmmmm maybe I should blog about it too. This is a great recipe I use often. Its one of those family favorites that everyone loves and mom loves it too, because it's easy.

1 lb Ground Beef
1 Onion, chopped
1-2 cloves garlic (can use dried if you dont have fresh. Use Rachel Rays tip for garlic: Grate the garlic on a grater)
1 Packet taco seasoning (or you can use Chili Powder, Cumin, Salt and pepper to taste)
1 lb Velveeta, cut into large cubes
1 can Rotel (3/4 can of diced tomatoes works too)
Iceberg Lettuce, chopped
Tomato, chopped
Tortilla Chips


Brown ground beef until almost done. Drain. Add onion, garlic, seasonings and saute until done. Add Velveta cubes and Rotel and cook on medium heat stirring occasionally. To serve: Place lettuce, tomatoes, and chips in bowl and pour meat and cheese mixture over.

I like to mix the meat with the lettuce and tomato, but when you have leftovers this gets soggy. Either way its good eats!
