There are a few reasons why I married into the Gibb family. This, my friends, is one of them. My mother-in-law's taco salad. It is full of flavor and goodness. And it comes with it's own special dressing. It is the number one requested meal at Gibb family gatherings. Enough said.
1 lb. ground beef
1/4 cup dry onions
1 small can tomato sauce
1 can tomato paste
3 cans water (use tomato sauce can)
2 Tbs. sugar
1 tsp. garlic salt
1 tsp. accent (I don't use this)
1 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cumin
1 1/2 tsp. oregano
1 cup cooked rice
Brown meat and add onions. Pour in rest of ingredients and let simmer for 30 minutes.
Dressing:
1 cup mayonnaise
4 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. accent (I don't use this)
1/2 tsp. garlic salt
1/2 tsp. onion salt or powder
Put all ingredients in blender and mix well.
Sounds fantastic and super rich. I can't wait to try it.
ReplyDeleteHi Holly! In the process of making this taco salad as we speak. I used to be in the Gibb's ward. :) Anyway, just wondered, do you serve it over anything? I've got the meat mixture and the dressing.

Hey Brooke,
ReplyDeleteYou are probably done with the taco salad by now! Sorry. We serve the meat mixture over lettuce and chips and top it with cheese, dressing and tomatoes. I hope that helps! Sorry for the delay.
