Bonnie's Notes:
Everyone loves Tacos! Now you can have your homemade taco seasoning to prepare them!

Photo is my own.

Directions

Combine until mixed very well. Divide mixture into 6 evenly distributed portions, and place in the sandwich bags. Place the 6 sandwich bags into a jar with a tight fitting lid. Include the recipe!

HOW TO USE THE MIX:
Brown one pound of ground beef in a skillet. Drain the fat if any. Add one package of Taco Seasoning to the meat. Stir. Add 1/2 cup of water and 1 tablespoon of catsup. Simmer about ten minutes until water has evaporated.

Fry your own taco shells (they always taste better!) You can use prepared taco shells, too. Start with spooning the meat into the shells, adding chopped onion, and cheese, topping with chopped tomatoes and shredded lettuce. Serve with taco sauce, sour cream and guacamole and refried beans.

I use taco seasoning alot, and there are so many times I look in my cupboard and there is no taco seasoning packets... so thank you for this taco seasoning recipe...now I wont have to turn off my stove and drive to the store! Also, I think your seasoning recipes taste much better than the store packets. I have also saved all of your seasonings, and thank you so much for sharing them!

Thanks, Brenda! I am truly honored! That is the reason I have the seasoning recipes, too, is because I run out all the time, and it is a good way to use up your older spices.
