Ingredients:

• The Filling:
• 4 slices bacon, diced
• 1 1/4 lb lean ground beef
• 2 scallions, white portion and part of the green, sliced
• 1 teaspoon bottled Liquid Smoke
• 1 Tablespoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• Taco Sauce:
• 1/3 cup ketchup
• 1 Tablespoon prepared yellow mustard
• 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
• 12 small taco shells (12 to a 4.6 oz. box)
• Toppings of choice:
• Shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
• Lettuce
• Chopped tomato
• Chopped onion

Method

In a medium saucepan, cook diced bacon until lightly crisp. Pour off all but a half tablespoon of the grease. Add ground beef and scallions and cook together until no trace of pink remains in the beef. Pour off any grease. Stir in Liquid Smoke, chili powder, salt and pepper; cook together another 10 minutes. Combine the sauce ingredients (catsup, mustard and chili powder) in a small bowl. Assemble tacos: Fill taco shells with ground beef mixture, then a drizzle of sauce, then shredded sharp Cheddar cheese. Heat in a low-temp oven or microwave just until cheese is melted, then add lettuce, tomato and onion.
