The Beefer - My Answer To A Long Ago Discontinued Product

 

Song:  Guantanamera

Group:  The Sandpipers

In the 1960s and 70s...

one of my favorite items from any fast food 

was The Bell Beefer from Taco Bell.

They were on hamburger buns and had ground beef and lots of cheese...

and I used their signature sauce on it.

I loved them so much...

I was sad when they discontinued them.

However, I never had the right sauce to make my own

until I first tasted the verde from the below brand.

It was a game changer.

Just brown ground beef...

season with only salt and pepper.

What I consider to be...

the king of all the mexican sauces (Verde - meaning Green)...

and THE BEST BRAND OF VERDE.

This verde is so very flavorful without being obnoxiously hot.

It is this that adds so much flavor to this meal.

I could only find this brand at SaveMart.

And so, after shopping at Safeway and not finding any...

I made a special trip to SaveMart...

and I bought all they had (six bottles left).

This pre shredded blend of cheeses goes so well with The Beefer...

as well as with all other Mexican food.

Just scoop as much browned ground beef on a hamburger bun as will stay on.

And then saturate the meat with the verde

(I had only put a little on my Mom's Beefer as pictured here).

Top it with as much cheese as possible...

and serve.

I put this together for my elder sister.

You will have ingredients fall out a bit...

but it is all good.

This was my first of three that I had on this night.

I just love The Beefer so much that I had it three times this week for supper.

This meal is just so quick and easy to make...

and with this particular brand of verde...

it is hauntingly delicious.

Yes, it feels so good eating this that for days afterwards...

you just have to have more.
