    Cook the Ground Beef

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.

    Add Taco Seasoning

    Once the beef is browned, drain excess fat if necessary. Stir in the taco seasoning and water, mixing well.

  3. 3

    Simmer the Mixture

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.
