So there is a championship game on or it’s just a great slate of games on TV this Saturday or Sunday and you’re hosting a viewing party, a.k.a., a watch party…
You’ve asked party guests to bring something, be it chips, dips, soda or the like, but as the host, you’ve got to put something substantial on the buffet table to please the sports fans…
Be it a championship setting or just watching your favorite team, it’s imperative then that you free up as much time as possible to glue your butt to the couch or your favorite chair.
Create a taco bar.
Whether it’s just you or several buddies to feed, creating a taco bar saves you time. Served buffet style, people can help themselves as they wish, it’s a low maintenance, low prep meal.
The key is the use of the crock pot!
Brown some ground beef, drain and throw it in the crock pot on the keep warm setting. You can brown the ground beef the night before and refrigerate or brown it the morning before company arrives for the games. Here’s a quick taco meat crock pot recipe using a pound of ground beef:
Ingredients:
- Browned ground beef (one pound serves approximately four people)
- One Tablespoon taco seasoning
- One Tablespoon dried minced onion
- One teaspoon cumin
- One teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1/3 cup beef stock
Directions:
It’s pretty straight forward, dump everything in the crock pot. Since the ground beef is already browned, you can set it on the keep warm setting and four hours later you’ve got some great tasting taco meat! Set up your ‘bar’ with soft and/or hard taco shells, some sliced tomato, lettuce, onion, black olive, shredded and/or jar cheese, sour cream, some guacamole if you feel ambitious and a big bowl of chips and you’re rocking the taco bar! Self serve, Bachelor on the Cheap wallet friendly good eats!
