  2. Spicy Beef Stuffing:
  3. In large saucepan, brown beef in own juice while stirring. Add salt and pepper and chopped onion and cook for 1 minute. Stir in flour and cook for 2 more minutes. Add remaining ingredients and cook for 20 minutes while stirring, or until mixture is almost dry.
  4. Serve as stuffing for tacos, burritos and enchiladas.
