How to Make It
Step 1
Cook the beef in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat until well browned, stirring often to separate meat. Pour off any fat.

Recipe Tips
- For Creamy Mexican Fiesta Skillet, stir in 1/2 cup sour cream with the soup.
- For Ranchero-Style Skillet, use corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas and shredded Mexican cheese blend instead of Cheddar.
- Make Ahead Freezer Meal: Prepare the beef mixture as directed but do not top with the cheese (you’ll use it after reheating). Cool completely. Spoon the cooled mixture into a gallon-size resealable freezer bag. Seal bag (removing air) and freeze (you can freeze the remaining cheese, too, in a resealable freezer bag). Cook frozen or thawed mixture in a 12-inch skillet over medium-low heat until hot (you may need to add ¼ cup water if heating from frozen) and stirring occasionally. Top with the cheese.
