Notes
Liz's Tips:
- Ground Beef: You can substitute leaner ground beef, ground turkey, or ground chicken.
- Tomato Sauce: Canned tomato sauce and jarred pasta sauce are very different, jarred pasta sauce is much thicker and usually has seasonings added to it.
- Skip the cheese if you'd like to make this dairy free!
- Add all your favorite toppings. This recipe is delicious as is but even better with all of your favorite taco toppings. We love adding salsa, guacamole and even olives on top!
