Ingredients
- 1½ lbs lean ground beef
- ½ medium onion diced
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ½ cup barbecue sauce
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon sweet relish
- 10 hard taco shells (I recommend Stand 'n' Stuff with the flat bottom)
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tomato chopped
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- Optional: 1000 islands dressing, mayo, pickles or bacon
Instructions
- In a large skillet, cook ground beef and onion until browned. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in barbecue sauce.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Line taco shells up in a 9x13" pan -- you will want just enough room so they don't fall over! (My pan was a little smaller this time, so I only got 9 in but this recipe does make 10 tacos)
- Sprinkle half of the cheese in the bottom of the taco shells. Divide beef between shells. Top with remaining cheese and bake for 10 minutes until cheese is melted and tacos are heated through.
- Remove from the oven and top as desired with tomato, lettuce, mayo, pickles or cooked bacon as desired.

Notes
To make ahead, cook ground beef and onion and combine with salt, pepper and barbecue sauce. Store in the fridge until ready to serve, then assemble tacos, bake and serve.
Regular Baked Tacos: you can make this recipe non-cheeseburger style and cook your ground beef with taco seasoning instead.
