I guess TB hired some bachelors to come up with their recipes.
Awesome, 2nd time using this recipe. Thanks 🙂 I love the method, closest I've seen the meat to TB meat
Turned it off immediately when i saw beef being boiled
if you want it to feel like taco bell even more, leave it out, keep it warm by putting it into a condensated warming tub
Sweet
You dont boil it.
Before this recipie I wanted to try Taco 🔔's crunchwrap but decided I would make one first and maybe compare the two. I just made the beef like your video and it's seasoned perfectly with great texture. The few improvised changes I made was less cumin and 1/2 tsp of beef powder. I also put 1/2 Tbs of salt in hot water and broke up the meat by hand before the water boiled. Straining the water after done and using 3/4 cup to put back in as someone suggested. Best video copycat so far!! Thanks again.🌮
Thanks boss, need mroe vids like this
The seasoning amounts where a bit off for me, that is a personal preference. The boiling ground meat process seamed to create the right texture. Thanks for making the video, I never would have tried boiled meat.
Perfect recipe!
Actually cooking the meat this way isn’t bad. I made a recipe like this over 10 years ago because they said Taco Bell did it this way. Are used a different taco seasoning for it. It turned out very well. I think this recipe would actually be better than Taco Bell with the amount of spices that are used. I would probably cut the cayenne to 1/8 teaspoon.
If you break the meat up in the water with your hands before you add the heat it breaks up smaller. That's also how hotdog/hamburger chili sauce is made. It works great.
Sooo… they boil it? nevermind
This is gross
Boiled and seasoned that much? Basically, the beef is not
there for anything but texture, sounds like my honeymoon.
Add the Hot Sauce packets good. AGAIN, my honeymoon…
So you start by boiling hamburger meat in a lot of water. Then you toss the water, where a lot of the taste would reside. Then you add fresh water? I doubt Taco Bell would do anything that wasteful, or contrary to typical cooking techniques – unless maybe they are pushing some sort of low fat product that is also lite on taste. I have seen recipes (for Cincinnati Chili) that do cook the meat in water. They use less than you did, and boil it down to concentrate the flavor. Perhaps that would produce a better product.
Doesn't taco bell use a bunch of tvp? Without that I can't imagine you get very close. Plus the cayenne is probably considered offensive to the general american pallet.
Looks like a perfectly fine taco meat recipe though! Boiling the meat is interesting.
This is a good recipe another one to try is drain the oil from the meat place it in the processor be very careful when using the processor so you don’t get the meat to ground up put it in a bowl add 2 tablespoons of water your seasonings stir than two more tablespoons of water put your taco shells in the microwave for 35 to 55 seconds delicious enjoy
you lost me at boiling ground beef
Thanks bro
What about the oatmeal they cut it with to stretch out the beef
LOL. The meat is pre packaged and dropped in hot water to cook it. It stays in the package. Who knows what's really in it. 😂and the beans are dehydrated mixed with water. 🤷
with all of that chili and pepper in there, this is not a taco bell clone. No way.

ATF … Can you please put the recipe in the Description — in the future … or even now. I do a cut & paste to be able to do it. And, it helps to have it written out, instead of everyone re-writing from video.
Terrible recipe, had to fix it up by using different seasonings, minced onion ,jalapeño peppers, and beef stock.
But why all the water? You just diminish the flavor of the ground beef!
Boil the raw ground beef? Seriously?
I just couldn't bring myself to boil hamburger in water. I would have to cook it in a skillet.
Taco bell only uses onion powder and not diced onions. So much for being a "clone".
I followed the recipe and when i got to the cumin Im like that is way too much cumin 1 1/2 tbs and sure enough the meat tasted like too much cumin. I had to go back over and over but it said tbs. First batch wife had to spit it out. I will try again but using a tsp instead tbs
Why would you want to clone anything from Taco Hell?
Great recipe. I put the meat in the food processor to smooth it out after cooking for tacos/nachos.
How much water do I use to boil the meat
don't they also include tomato powder, coco powder and beef broth??
