The first salad in my Sensational Salad series
comes from
Kimberlynn at Autumn Living
My family loved, loved, loved this recipe. I have made Taco Salad many times before, however I had never cooked the meat this way, and the meat is what makes this dinner salad special.

Here is our cast of characters
(minus the hamburger, which was on the stove at this point)
1-2 pounds Hamburger
2 can Kidney Beans drained (I used back bean)
1 can Stewed Tomatoes drained
1 Tbsp Chili powder
1 tsp Cumin
1/2 tsp Chipotle Chili Powder
1/2 cup Water
Salt and Pepper to taste
4 cups cooled Rice, white or brown
Romain Lettuce
Cherry Tomatoes
1 Small Onion chopped (I used green onions)
Shredded Mexican Cheese
Sour Cream
Salsa
Tortilla Chips
First brown the hamburger and drain the grease. Then you add the Stewed Tomatoes, Beans, Spices and water. Stir it all together and let simmer until it thickens.
While the sauce is thickening, prepare the other ingredients.
When the meat is ready, all that is left to do is assemble your Taco Salad.
This salad is very simple and very good. It seems like everyone has their own version of Taco Salad and I have to say I like this one the best out of all those that I have tried. Also, when I was cooking the meat it occurred to me that it would be very easy to cook up a double batch to either freeze or use for lunches.
My family devoured this salad and Dadzoo commented more than once about how good the meat was!
