Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
- 0.25 cup Water
- 4 Soft hamburger buns
- 1 cup Shredded lettuce
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Mild taco sauce
- 0.5 cup Grated cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter (optional, for toasting buns)
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes.
Step 2
Drain excess fat from the skillet, if necessary. Stir in the taco seasoning and water, mixing until well combined. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
Step 3
If desired, lightly butter the insides of the hamburger buns and toast them in a separate skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Set aside.
Step 4
To assemble the Bell Beefer burgers, spoon a generous portion of the seasoned beef mixture onto the bottom half of each bun.
Step 5
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of mild taco sauce over the beef mixture on each bun.
Step 6
Top each burger with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a sprinkle of grated cheddar cheese.
Step 7
Place the top half of the bun onto each burger and press gently to close. Serve immediately and enjoy!
