Ground Beef Taco Salad

You know those recipes that are staples in your household because they're so yummy, they're fast, and you know everyone will be happy with it? That's this recipe. I've been making it and perfecting it even before I was married. It comes from a cooking for two type of cookbook that I can't even remember the title of anymore.

I've made this taco salad for family get-togethers, for new moms who could use a homemade meal, and for my own family a few times each month. It never gets old!

Adding your favorite store-bought salsa to the meat mixture I think makes this recipe extra special - the secret ingredient you won’t want to skip!
