Taco Salad and Boss's Day

Friday was actually Boss's Day, but Anthony Timberlands celebrated it Tuesday. We decided to treat our bosses to a lunch of Taco Salad, cheese dip and all the toppings. Everyone said it was really good, but since I did most of the cooking, it didn't taste to good to me. I think I had just smelt taco meat for too long.

I cooked 7 pounds of taco meat Monday night and then warmed it Tuesday morning and then put it the crock pot at my office until lunch. Hmmm...think that is a bit to long for me.

I've made this salad 3 or 4 times and it is always a big hit. Here is the recipe.

2-3 lbs of hamburger meat, cooked and drained
2 pkgs of taco seasoning (add to meat, add water and cook just like tacos)
1 head of lettuce, shredded
1 bell pepper, finely chopped
1 purple onion, finely chopped
1 large tomato, finely chopped
1pkg of taco strips, (can be found near the croutons in the salad section)
1 bottle of Catalina dressing

1st layer taco meat
2nd layer bell pepper and onion
3rd layer lettuce and tomato
4th layer taco strips

Add Catalina dressing and toss until all combined.

We ate it plain or in a soft taco shell.

Try it sometime.
