Baked Tacos

We are taco lovers in this house. Instead of our typical soft tacos that we eat so often we switched things up a little and had baked tacos. This recipe got approval all around the table.
---------------------------------------


  •  2 lbs. Ground Beef
  • 4 t. Dried Minced Onion
  • 3 t. Chili Powder
  • 1 t. Cornstarch
  • 1 t. Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 t. Ground Cumin
  • 1/2 t. Dried Oregano
  • 1/8 t. Cayenne Pepper
  • 1 (8 oz.) can Tomato Sauce
  • 1 (16 oz) can Refried Beans
  • 2 c. Shredded Colby-Jack Cheese
  • 18-20 Hard Taco Shells
 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a small bowl combine dried minced onion, chili powder, cornstarch, garlic powder, cumin, oregano, and cayenne pepper. Mix well and set aside.
In a large skillet, brown ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess liquid. Add refried beans, tomato sauce, and prepared taco seasoning. Mix well.
Spoon the taco meat mixture into the taco shells and place into a 9 x 13 inch baking dish, standing up.  Sprinkle cheese over the top of the taco meat in each shell. Place into the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until cheese has melted and the tacos are heated through. Remove from the oven and top with any optional condiments (lettuce, tomato, salsa, guacamole, etc.)
