The Ultimate Taco Bell Ground Beef Recipe | Secrets Revealed

seems like I'm quickly becoming known as the Taco Bell guy it's okay we all like Taco Bell and we all want to know how to make it because Taco Bell's getting really expensive uh so making it home is cheaper if you've got a big family good luck spending uh 50 60 bucks on dinner for everybody you can make your own meat right here for a couple of dollars uh this is super cheap and it feeds a ton of people I'm going to show you how to make this the right way the easy way the fast way and all that good stuff in about two seconds and then we're gonna do that when we get started okay apparently we're getting started from right here sorry the director doesn't tell me anything so I don't know sometimes uh this is the Taco Bell meat we just made this and it's amazing it's awesome I'm going to show you how to do that real quick there are a couple different ways to do this I'll just go over this super fast you can make this from scratch it's super easy chili powder onion powder Cayenne cumin uh little Mexican oregano everybody has some of that ground Mexican oregano regular oregano Woodwork and then there's a little lime juice in here which is my secret to this I'm going to show you exactly how to make this exactly like that here in five seconds but if you don't have all those spices if you're new to this you have a small kitchen you're just getting started you have no idea what cumin is there's these okay this one says Taco Bell on it um this isn't made by Taco Bell this is made by uh craft Heinz company uh talk about this slaps their name on it has nothing to do with the flavors or the seasonings that's in Taco Bell there are like two things in here that's actually in this uh the rest of this is not this is actually much closer this is about 80 percent of the stuff that's in here is in here and you can add the other things to make it even better I will tell you that the secrets to that are a half a teaspoon of sugar a little bit of beef base to give it uh the better than bullion jar stuff uh to to give it a little bit more beefy flavor and the big one is a teaspoon of lime juice a teaspoon of lime juice gives it that little that you're like oh Taco Bell has this little flavor that's what it is it's the lime juice they put the citric acid in there the easiest way to reproduce that is lime juice it's got a great flavor compliments it I'll show you that in two seconds when we put this in the frying pan and cook this up and now you know everything there is to know about making Taco Bell seasoned ground beef because you got to know this if you want to make Taco Bell so you know this we gotta go over there when it comes to making Taco Bell stuff at home if you don't nail the taste of the seasoned ground beef uh your kids are gonna go jungle meal and they're gonna get all yeah so you better do this right I'm gonna show you how to do this they won't know the difference except if they'll be like holy crap this actually tastes better hopefully they don't actually say crap because kids shouldn't use that word but uh it's better in other words they could use these nice G's all right uh getting it fine is the biggest thing you have to get this really chopped up and minced up really good so these meat Mashers are great they're a couple dollars uh seven eight bucks something like that you get them on Amazon or Walmart or something else you know they just pick one of these up they're fantastic they're well worth it uh they're not good for much else but uh they are good for this and that's good enough for me uh just get down all the nooks and crannies clean before you put in your seasonings we're doing that now so they get toasted this livens up and lets all the oils out it makes everything taste even better it mixes with the meat better and this is amazing so please do this right at this stage as soon as you get it broken up uh this also absorbs a lot of the grease which is okay because Taco Bell learned a while ago that they meet weighs more and goes further if they don't drain the meat does that seem right to you I don't know leave me a comment let me know and by the way leave me any comment I love answering comments any questions anything like that so please do so uh we are continuing to break this up mix this up really really good now it's time for the really really fun stuff we have a heaping spoonful of tomato paste here going in this will not want to go in until you get it hot so let it sit for a second and then it'll incorporate uh but you want to really make sure you get this incorporated as best as possible and broken up so you don't see any red spots anymore okay here's the tough weird stuff they use oat flour to thicken this and to absorb more of the grease if you don't have oat flour you make it basically by grinding up oatmeal in a spice grind or coffee grinder we also put some better than bullion beef base in there that gives it a much more beefy flavor and we're putting water in that's a half a cup of water I put in a quarter cup at a time to incur operate this that is just my preference you can put it all in at once it'll probably work just fine uh but yeah just uh get that in get that really really good mixed up you can see it's got that lovely soupy little gravy with this it's not overly greasy it's perfect that's why we're using the 9010 now lime juice is what gives it that flavor that's the secret they use citric acid and there's to brighten it up I'm using lime juice and that is really really the secret now just let this simmer for about 10 or 15 minutes and you have perfect seasoned ground beef ready to make all your favorite items seriously folks it could not be much easier if you want to use one of the packets you always can but that tastes better and this tastes more authentic and you can say you did it yourself so in the end this is the better way isn't it come on it doesn't take any extra time it probably doesn't cost you any extra money if you already have the spices as I showed you there are a few of them if you don't have the spices use the packet until you get the spices if you want to make a lot of this stuff then invest spices are always a good investment all right so I got all this out of here I don't want to leave anything behind because all of this is goodness okay okay I'll leave it I'll leave it all right there you go the
