Best Homemade Taco Seasoning

[calyn320]

I had to share this with you guys. It tastes exactly like the pre-packed stuff.

Taco Bell Taco Seasoning Mix
2 teaspoons chili powder 1
1 1/2 teaspoons dried minced onion 1.85
1 1/4 teaspoons salt *
1 teaspoon paprika .73
3/4 teaspoon crushed beef bouillon cube trace
1/2 teaspoon splenda .5
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper .13
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder .44
1/4 teaspoon onion powder .39

Combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl.

Prepare taco meat using 1 pound of ground beef.
BROWN ground beef; drain. Add seasoning mix and 3/4 cup of water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer uncovered, 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

SERVE bowls of seasoned ground beef, lettuce, tomato, cheese and sour cream.

* I cut out the salt and it still tasted the same!!! Enjoy

yep that is a great mix It should be in the ADBB recipe data base too as Brook shared it with us last yr.

but it is missing the cumin many of us love in tacos.

Interesting, I could not find it in the database... Sorry if I shared it twice.

I don't know of exactly emulating pre-packaged taco seasoning is a good thing.... .

Try mexican oregano, fresh ground toasted cumin, fresh grounded roasted chiles de arbol, some bird chiles, and of course the garlic, onion, salt, and etc. for something really tasty.

Oh, it is a good thing, trust me. And I'm not a chef or anything, so while those seasonings so good, I'll stick with this!!!

we will have to see what gremmlins got in and removed Brook's taco seasoning mix LOL Must be some Taco Bell stock holders. Quick everybody print this one off before it goes poof too.

No need to apologies. it is an oldie and goodie.

I think that happened to more than one recipe when the recipe board went down. I added my cheese ball recipe and when the board finally came back up, it was not there.

I love taco seasoning and taco salad. Thats Calyn for resurrecting this recipe.
