Slow Cooker Taco Meat Recipe

0 Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2 Add the oil and, when it begins to shimmer, add the ground beef. 
4 Saute the beef, breaking it apart as it cooks, until cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
6 Drain off any excess fat or liquid from the pan. (Note: Resist the urge to season the meat with salt or pepper at this stage. Depending on how salty your salsa is, you may or may not need additional salt.)
8 Transfer the beef to the bowl of a slow cooker and stir in salsa and water. (See note below for freezing instructions.)
10 Cook for 7 to 8 hours on low or 4 to 5 hours on high. (After cooking is complete, you can leave the meat on the “warm” setting for up to 2 hours.)
12 Give the meat a stir. Taste and season with some salt and pepper, if needed.
