Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 4 hamburger buns
- Your favorite taco toppings (lettuce, tomato, onion, salsa, guacamole)
Directions
- In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
- Drain any excess fat from the skillet and stir in the taco seasoning, following the package instructions.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the beef simmer in the seasoning for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
- While the beef is simmering, toast the hamburger buns in a toaster or on a griddle until lightly golden.
- Once the beef is cooked and seasoned, divide it into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty.
- Place the patties back into the skillet and cook over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
- During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each burger and cover the skillet with a lid to melt the cheese.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and assemble the burgers on the toasted buns, topping each patty with your favorite taco toppings.
- Serve the Taco Skillet Burgers immediately with a side of salsa and guacamole for a complete meal.
