UGH! I had just put 20lbs of homemade taco meat from scratch for my daughters grad party in a very large plastic bag and it tipped over.LMAO! We are making 50lbs of meat all together. I'm making 20lbs in a day, then freezing it.

Now I'm out of a few seasonings and I need more meat. There goes 40-60 bucks down the drain. Her party is this Saturday. . I guess I'll make her poster board today and finish the meat tomorrow.

I wonder why there are two extra pictures of my spill at the bottom? I can't get rid of them.

The top layer of meat is still good! Just add some soy tvp filler and drain less grease.... extended batch and no one will tell the difference.

Hahaha! That's what my 11 year old and her friend said. I make my taco seasoning from scratch too.

I threw it in the trash. I had just scrubbed the floor earlier that day.lol

Reminds me of a lasagna I made for a GF back in high school. I spent hours getting everything ready for this meal (where I made everything myself). I was just pulling the lasagna out of the oven when a metal ring on the oven mitt I was using caught on the grate in the oven and caused me to drop the lasagna in front of my GF.

The thing shattered and scattered on the floor with amazing force, sending pieces to the far corners of the kitchen. Nearly a decade later when my dad replaced the refrigerator in the kitchen he found yet another fragment of the glass dish from that lasagna.

My dad was so kind to me though, he slipped me a twenty and told me to take my GF out to eat. That was one of the kindest gifts of money my dad ever gave me.

Oh, man! That sucks, InLove.... and I am wondering just how big of a bag that musta been to fit all that taco meat in!

LOL! Sorry, but I have to laugh. Also, you clearly don't have any dogs -- that would have disappeared in about 60 seconds around here!

Mrs.K

OH NO!!! I have to admit though I would have spooned all that I could off the top, especially since you scrubbed the floors!

I'mInLoveWithMyHubby

Here's 1/2 that batch. I transfer into another pot for simmering after rinsing all the meat thoroughly getting all the grease off.

We have 2 big dogs, 1 with a weak stomach. It's much easier cleaning off the floor then puke on the carpet.lol

Browncoat

soooo true.

lol that sucks..... and i wouldn't have used any of that meat... if i had a dog... would have let him/her clean it up lol.

Same thing happened to me several 4th of Julys ago. I had just scrubbed the floor that morning; company (family) was coming over for a festive cookout. I made a nice "flag" cake and put it in the fridge. When my sister got there, I showed her the cake and it slipped out of my hand and dumped on the floor. If she had not been there, I probably would have cried. But she was like which got me like . She said "your floor is clean, let's put it back together!" And so we did. Since then, any cake I've made has been labeled "floor cake". And yep we ate that cake and it was good! Dad loves that story!

Sometimes, you just gotta make the best of it. If the floor is clean, I would scooped up most of that cooked meat, and dumped the bottom layer - maybe!
