Fast food

I haven't done any recipes in a long time so here's a quickie. It's not very original but it is very convenient.

FREEZER TACOS
1 lb. ground beef
1 can refried beans
1 package dry taco seasoning mix
shredded cheese
diced tomatoes
sour cream
lettuce
salsa
taco shells or tortilla chips

Brown and drain ground beef. Mix in refried beans and taco seasoning. Using a monster-cookie sized cookie scoop (or a half-cup measure), place scoops of meat mixture on cookie tray lined with waxed paper. Freeze.

When meat balls are frozen, remove from tray and place in gallon zip-top freezer bag. Return to freezer.

When you're hungry, defrost/zap meat ball(s) in the microwave and add cheese, tomatoes, etc. to make a taco or taco salad.

Our south of the border weather continues. At least we didn't get 6" of rain overnight like Des Moines did. Still, we've had 3" of rain in 3 days. With the extreme heat and humidity plus the abnormally high rainfall, it's like being boiled alive!
