→ Main Ingredients
01 -
5 packs (15 each) phyllo tart shells, straight from the freezer
02 -
2 cups cheddar, grated up
03 -
1 bottle (8 oz) of ranch dressing
04 -
1 pound ground beef, thawed or fresh
05 -
1 package (1 oz) taco seasoning
06 -
1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chiles, liquid and all
# Instructions:
01 -
Leave the phyllo shells chilling in the freezer while you work on the rest.
02 -
Crank up your oven so it gets to 350°F. Give it a minute to get hot.
03 -
Toss the beef in a skillet and break it apart while you cook. Keep stirring till no pink is left. Once it's cooked, pour out any extra grease.
04 -
Dump in the taco seasoning and the whole can of tomatoes with chiles. Give everything a stir. Let it bubble together for a handful of minutes so the flavors hang out.
05 -
In a big bowl, blend the cheese with the ranch. Then add in that flavorful meat. Stir till it's all mixed together.
06 -
Spoon the loaded beef mix into each cold phyllo shell. Don't pack them too full or they'll spill. Slide the tray into the oven. Bake for 8-10 minutes if they're fresh, or 10-13 minutes straight from frozen, until they're nice and hot.
