Where's the Beef?

Alright...so I bought Ground Beef for the first time this week. And I attempted to cook it for the first time. I was a vegetarian for all of my life until the beginning of this year. Cooking is not my strong suit, but I wanted to try. This will be literally the first time i've ever cooked any sort of meat and I have put together a little presentation.
(side note: I was pretty excited about both cooking the beef and eating the meal - at the beginning of this endeavor.)

So this is what I wanted to cook. The Soft Taco Bake Dinner Kit. Comes with everything except the beef.....

I started to cook the beef on my tiny stove. I was told to cook until I see no pink. I was very nervous about this because I didn't want to poison myself. It looked gross. As a former vegetarian, I still don't feel great about eating it...BUT...im giving it a try.

Looks all brown to me?

Added the taco sauce and some water...starting to smell and look a little better.

So this is the dinner bake. There are 4 layers and then cheese on the top. I am realizing at this point that i'm not really hungry and that this does not look tasty at all. BLARF!

Threw the pile of beef and tortilla shells into my tiny oven for 15 minutes

This is exactly how I feel after cooking for 10 minutes....I do not like to cook because it just makes me want to barf. I don't want to see raw food....raw meat.....ugh.....i'm starting to feel badly now about this endeavor.

And then I got sidetracked and burned the shit out of it. Okay, it's not super burnt, just the top...it just looks like a big pile of gross.

I added some lettuce and sour cream...cause thats what the picture on the box had on it. It looks edible....I guess.

Bon Apatite. Blarf....this is the only bite I took....it wasn't horrible, but honestly, just the preperation....made me not hungry anymore. I have officially decided I will never cook meat again unless I plan on not eating it.

I am now eating a bowl of cheerios.

One love,
Jamie
