Taco Meat
- Meanwhile, brown and crumble the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain any grease then add the taco seasoning and water. Allow meat mixture to simmer over low heat for 10 minutes or until heated through.
Cheese Sauce
- Place all the cheese sauce ingredients in a medium saucepan. Stir mixture over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until all the cheese is melted.
