I first tried this recipe in my junior high school home economics class more than 20 years ago. As an adult, I wrote home for the recipe and have enjoyed it ever since! —Katie Dreibelbis, Santa Clara, California

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
2 tablespoons chopped onion
1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 to 3 drops hot pepper sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon celery salt
1/4 teaspoon onion salt
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Dash pepper
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
8 taco shells
Shredded lettuce
Chopped tomatoes
SWEET-AND-SOUR DRESSING:
1 cup Miracle Whip
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
Optional: Sliced jalapeno pepper and red onion

Directions

In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat, breaking beef into crumbles, until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add the next 12 ingredients to meat mixture. Simmer, uncovered, until liquid is almost completely reduced, stirring occasionally, 10-15 minutes. Cool slightly; stir in cheese.

Preheat oven to 400°. Place taco shells open end up in a baking pan; place 1 scoop meat mixture into each shell. Bake until meat is hot and cheese is melted, 10-15 minutes.
Sprinkle lettuce and tomatoes over tacos. In a small bowl, combine dressing ingredients; drizzle over tacos. If desired, top with jalapeno and red onion.
