2 pounds ground pork
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 envelope taco seasoning
1 teaspoon salt

I've made this recipe several times since discovering it. It's very versatile and easy to make. With the exception of french bread, I always have the ingredients on hand. I just grab a loaf of french bread from the store and I know I can whip of this meal quickly once I get home. The ground pork gives it a different flavor from your ordinary ground beef, but I'm sure you could use ground beef too. And the taco seasoning and toasted french bread give it that extra boost of flavor and texture. In fact, today I'm going to make this again, but I'm going to try mixing a little ground venison with the pork. I have a lot of ground venison to use up. We'll see how it turns out. :-)
