Marion's Slappy Recipe for Making TACOS! (It's a hoot)

I would have to say that there is nothing better than going through 1 or 2 generation old recipes. It shows a whole new side to the Family that I wasn't able to know very well. Here is a hilarious recipe for tacos that my Great Aunt Marion made and my Grandma Donna wrote up.


1 lb Hamburger
Salt, Pepper, Onions, Garlic Salt (everything else you can think of, including the kitchen sink) Brown- then add 1 can tomato sauce and a dash or two of taco sauce if want it a little more hot- Then if you want it REALLY delicious throw in a small brick of frozen chili con carne - (optional)  (That's Dee-Rish-us, as Larry used to say) I haven't used that in ages tho', always forgot to buy it- Simmer for a little while- then when it's all done dump a tablespoon or two of that meat goop into each shell and pop them into the oven for  5 minutes or so (just to heat them) then add your shredded lettuce, tomatoes, etc, cheese if desired and squirt on a couple drops of taco sauce, then sit back and wait for the indigestion..
Some recipe huh?


That whole section is the recipe, from 1 lb all the way to huh? I might just have to make these taco's, except for using the frozen chili con carne, not sure if you can still get that in the store, its a little outdated. Oh and I have absolutely no idea who Larry is. I might have to call my Dad and see if he knows. ( I called and Larry is one of my many cousins)

Live and Love
These are not Marions taco's. I just googled 'taco' and these looked the most delicious.

  1. I love this recipe. But mom and I had a debate on if the book it was in is from Grandma Donna or Great-Grandma Myrtle. I think that it was great grandmas and grandma Donna just had it.

  2. This one wasn't in a book. It was in the baggie of all of the loose recipes. Written on a piece of notebook paper.
