- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- ½ cup water
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup black olives, sliced
- 1 package (8 oz) mozzarella cheese slices
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Brown ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Drain off any excess grease.

- Add sour cream for the eyes on the ghosts, and the black olives for extra ghoulish effect.
Notes
For an extra kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the taco meat. Serve immediately or at room temperature.
