Taco Meat That Feeds A Crowd (Freezer Friendly)

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Use this recipe to whip up a ton of taco meat and invite a bunch of friends over for taco night.  Or, portion out in freezer bags so your family dinner is ready on those busy weeknights.

Taco Meat for a Crowd (or to freeze for later) by @SeededTableWe love tacos, as I’m sure many of you do.  We also love easy dinners.  This taco meat is quick to cook up on your stovetop.  It then leaves you with a bountiful supply to either share with dinner guests, or freeze for your family to eat later.

Taco Meat to serve a Crowd (or freeze for later) by @SeededTableAnother way we use up taco meat?  Nachos, of course!  Throw this meat over a plate of tortilla chips, and include your favorite toppings like tomatoes, lettuce, beans, corn, sour cream, salsa, avocado, etc.  Then, drizzle with our famous white cheese dip.  You can also heat the nachos in the oven on a baking sheet before serving.  Oh.my.heavens.  One of our favorite meals.

Taco Meat to freeze or serve a crowd by @SeededTableWe are headed to the beach at the end of the month for a trip with Ben’s side of the family.  Every time we go, we all are responsible for a meal.  Last year, Ben and I made this amazing chicken for everyone, but it was a ton of work for that many people.  This year, we’re going for less stress and will serve up this taco meat, giving everyone the option of tacos or nachos.

Recipe Notes

You can reduce the serving size in this recipe by using 1 or 2 lb ground beef instead and then reducing the measurement of all ingredients by the same portion.

    You know we love nacho night!! Your queso blanco is what makes it. 🙂 I’m going to try out this meat too!

    I freeze the leftover taco meat from one night’s meal (usually like a cup or less) and add it to chili or taco soup in the fall/winter.

    We always make taco stuff and do a taco bar every time we don’t feel like cooking for a crowd :). I love that you specified this is “freezer friendly”!

    I bet your white cheese dip is great but look up the word Infamous. Don’t think that is what you meant! Ha!

      haha, Linda. I know! That word is used wrong by everyone all the time, but I give up. I still use it incorrectly like everyone else and always will. 😉
