Ingredients

2 - Jars of Senor Smokes Roja Salsa

1 to 2 - Pounds of Lean Ground Beef

Cooking Instructions

(Preparation time approximately 30 minutes)

The Meat

1. Preheat the skillet on high heat for 4 minutes

2. Reduce the heat to medium and place ground beef in the skillet and brown. Be sure to continuously chop the meat with a spatula to reduce it into small pieces as it is cooking to get the as desired size of pieces

3. Once the meat is thoroughly cooked, drain the excess fat using a colander and return the meat to the skillet for the next step

4. Pour 1 jar of Senor Smokes Roja salsa into the meat and stir until mixed well

5. Once the mixture starts boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for 15 minutes or until the water is gone. This will leave chunks of tomato, onion and pepper in the meat
