Sometimes I get tired of cooking. Especially at the end of the day when the kids are going crazy & my husband’s not quite home from work yet.

It’s those times when the kids are screaming & I am trying to get around the kitchen to cook dinner with one kid hanging onto my leg, that I wish we could just go out to eat.

Then I realize, not everything has to be “from scratch” to be “homemade.” Thanks to McCormick, we had a fabulous homemade dinner the other night using McCormick Taco Seasoning Mix.

Combine that taco mix with some ground beef & a few cans of ingredients like pinto beans, mexi-corn, & tomato sauce. Top it all off with cheese & tortilla chips & we had a super quick & delicious dinner on the table in no time!

I mean, who doesn’t love to eat chips with their dinner? My kids were jumping for joy when they saw that dinner was “jelly beans” & “chippies.” And my kids don’t always eat ground beef, especially taco meat, but they gobbled this one up!

We added sour cream & green onions to ours. Sliced black olives would be delicious too!
