BACON CHEESEBURGER TACOS
I made these up one night when I was confronted with a pound of ground beef and didn't want to make either burgers or tacos ... so why not combine the two? I used the white corn taco shells that come 12 in a 4.6 oz. box so they're kind of small; if you use larger shells the yield will be less; yield also depends on how much you fill 'em up! Also, a little of the tangy "taco sauce" I created goes a long way.

Steps:
- In a saucepan, cook the diced bacon until lightly crisp; pour off all but about a half tablespoon of bacon grease.
- Add ground beef and green onions and cook together until beef is thoroughly cooked through, then stir in chili powder, salt, pepper and Liquid Smoke and cook together another 10 minutes.
- Combine the"taco sauce" ingredients in a small bowl.
- Assemble tacos: Fill taco shells with bacon-ground beef, then a drizzle of the taco sauce then shredded sharp cheddar cheese.
- Heat in an oven or microwave until cheese is melted (has to be like a real cheeseburger, you know- LOL!), then add lettuce, tomato and onion.
- Yum!
Tips:
- Cook the beef and macaroni separately to prevent the macaroni from becoming mushy.
- Use a good quality cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, or queso Oaxaca.
- Be generous with the toppings! Classic taco toppings like lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and salsa are all great options.
- For a fun twist, try using different types of ground meat, such as turkey or chorizo.
- Be sure to cook the ground beef until it is browned and no longer pink. This will help to ensure that it is safe to eat.
- If you don't have any taco seasoning, you can make your own by combining chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- This dish can be made ahead of time and reheated when you're ready to serve.
