The founder of Taco Bell, Glen W. Bell, died over the weekend at the age of 86.  You can read his obituary in the New York Times.  While I have only eaten at Taco Bell once in my life, as an entrepreneur and taco lover, I decided to make tacos tonight in honor of him.

I made a very simple beef taco, using — you guessed it — ground beef from the steer.  Tim’s brother and his wife gave us a collection of Penzey’s Spices when we moved in May.  Included in the set, was a bottle of Taco Seasoning.  We finished the bottle tonight — it’s such an easy way to prepare a meal!  Brown 1 pound of ground beef, turkey or chicken; drain the fat; add 4 tablespoons of the taco seasoning and cook for one minute; then add 3/4 a cup of water and allow to simmer for 5 minutes.  So easy and delicious!

I will be ordering some more taco seasoning tomorrow!
