This taste like the real deal! All other videos I have seen of "Taco Bell recipes" are a joke. I just found this recipe and have put it to use twice and everybody is shocked how close it is to Taco Bell. His tomato-based red enchilada sauce taste just like Taco Bell too. THANK YOU so much for posting this!
Note: I added a tiny bit less oregano and black pepper.
Damn this may be the best ground beef I’ve ever cooked. Now I’m seeing how much I under seasoned my ground beed
Will be tryjgn this soon i just got taco bell and their meat portions are so small now it just pusses me off and i cant enjoy the meal .. its all tortilla on a crunchwrap now a days so sad
NO MSG!!
Never once in my life have I ever said I wanted the recipe for TB’s ground beef. Lol. What???
Can you teach me how to make a TB taco salad shell without owning a deep frier?
Yo how to cook is the msg required? I’ve been trying to avoid that stuff cause I hear it’s not good for you
I have two questions:
1. The ground beef I have access to has weird hard bits in it, some of it seems to be bone, some seems to be other adulterants, how do you prevent that from ending up in the final product?
Taco bell admits that it uses TVP in its products, have your tried that?
People acrually like Taco Bell? I thought it was sadism and to cure constipation in 3 minutes or less. Who knew.
love it ! did you know the owners from Taco Bell naugles bakers and taco tia were college friends and they wanted to give good food at a great value for communities
I’m a huge Taco Bell fan. Glad to have found this channel. Keep up the great work 👍.
This came out great, but I think for most people the cayenne pepper should be left out. I only used half of what is listed in the ingredients, and it was still very spicy. I don't think Taco Bell uses any cayenne pepper in their meat. That said, it tasted amazing, I just had to dilute it with beans and sour cream for my wife and young son 🙂
Looks great! I am going to cook it right now
Does someone have the measurements for this recipe? I am totally blind and there are no measurements.
Going thru a lil taco bell addiction, when I came across this recipe. Tried it and was amazed. I will now be eating taco bell at home for the next few weeks 😛
Thank you so much Awesome ❤😂😊
i make pretty good taco meat, never thought of adding a bit of sugar and lime juice too it… but my spice blend is
cumin
chilli powder
garlic powder
onion powder
white pepper
smoked paprika
cayenne powder and red pepper flakes
ground coriander
a tiny bit of nutmeg
oregano
and salt and black pepper
yayayay! cant wait to try this!

the home made toco bell is wayy better then restrant place it more freash compare to the fast food place
I’ve been held at gunpoint by my wife! however you make a very good point on making taco meal at home due to the food cost. 😅
I slow cook it for like 3-4 hrs @ 250 and that makes it the right texture.
I left a comment
I'll eat that whole bowl in one serving. After I melt some cheese over the top of it.
Love your recipes!! Do you think you could do a video for the taco bell bellbeefeer? They haven't sold those for a long time. Thanks if you can do it😊
Taco Bell meat= dog food
Holy moly that’s lots of ingredients
Feeding a family at taco bell its liked 100.00 dollars
Thank you, Bill for sharing your Taco Bell meat copycat recipe. I made your version. I made the taco meat and my family and I were impressed. The fresh ingredients, spices and the meat made better tacos then Taco Bell and much cheaper. Yes, I will make this again.
Thank You! I am going to make it!
As a laugh, let me make another comment. Did you ever eat the "taco bell beef burger"? I think they called it a "Bell Beefer"? Man, that damned thing was good. I ate a million of them in high school in the mid 1980's. Basically, it was more like a Mexican Sloppy Joe. That's all it was, and it was juicy, little sweet, and wonderful. I told wife we should try to find recipe for it.
I just made this. Exactly as shown. The only substitute I made was to use palm sugar instead of white granulated. Thank you for this recipe. The flavor is spot-on, the texture is spot-on, and it is indeed better than the Taco Bell version. Same flavor, but more umami and better profile. This is going into a burrito tonight!
About to try this I’ll let y’all know how it goes
I worked at Taco Bell when I was a teenager and they used to have like a liquid sauce had to of been enchilada sauce with other ingredients in white tubs we would have to pour that into the meat and take a potato masher and push the meat with it and just keep pushing the meat until the meat became small and everything was incorporated and cooked and that’s how we made it, the meat was so good it was the best hamburger meat ever, now it’s already prepared before it gets to the store in plastic bags then when heating, it gets put in metal pans and put in the oven to heat it not the same taste as it was when I was a teenager.
just made this, was great! throwing some oats in the spice grinder was a nice trick. thickened nicely.
