TACO Seasoning

TACO Seasoning – You make yourself!

I don’t know about all y’all but I never use a complete package of store-bought Taco Seasoning. In my opinion, the flavor just isn’t completely right so typically I’ll use 1/2 package. While I try to save the other portion, it never happens. The rolled up package gets tossed into the trash and wouldn’t you know it, I’ll forget that tidbit just when I need to remember it! Calling all that have been there…

Well no more… No more will I only get 1/2 when I want it all.. LOL

I found (and have since tested) the perfect seasoning mixture for taco meat. It isn’t over powering. It isn’t too spicy and it doesn’t have all of the added extras you find in the pre-packaged version.

 

Ingredients:

• 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
• 1/4 tsp Onion Powder
• 1/2 tsp Oregano, dried
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tbsp Chili Powder
• 1/2 tsp Paprika
• 1/4 tsp Red Pepper flakes
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 1 1/2 tsp ground Cumin

Mix everything together then add a tablespoon at a time to your Taco meat, taste testing as you go.

I used 2 tablespoons on Taco Salad for the hubs & I which was perfect!

Home-made Sloppy Joes

HOME-MADE SLOPPY JOE SANDWICHES

Easy to make, easy to serve and even easier to clean up. #Tripplehitter

Sloppy Joe sandwiches; a perfect simple dinner whipped up in no time when my babygirl & family unexpectedly came to visit for the day. I don’t have to tell y’all moms how awesome it feels to have your adult kiddos want to come over ‘just because’. No hidden agendas, not needing or wanting anything – just the desire to hang out. ♥

My heart ♥loves♥ visits like that!

Thinking of dinner earlier that day, I had already thawed 1-1/2 lbs of ground chuck. And while visiting & watching TV, I randomly started looking for recipes that would stretch enough to feed all of us *without* my having to run to the grocery store.

That’s when Pinterest (♥) showed me a pin “The Best Sloppy Joes”! Something that was a staple for me as a child but not so much for my own kiddos when they were growing up. I can honestly say it’s probably been 15 YEARS (or more) since we’ve had “Sloppy Joes” because my way was to use Manwich Sauce & the hubs was never a fan…

Until now! This is a winner for dinner at my house. No lie, every one of us had second helpings of this recipe (even my most picky eater!) #winning 🙂

So ~ if you’re looking for a meal that is hearty, easy, inexpensive, made with everyday pantry staples and let me not forget filling – then try this recipe out. Perfect for the next time you need a quick dish to satisfy the hungry mouths around your table!

Ingredients:

• 1 lb of ground beef/chuck
• 1 small sweet onion, chopped
• 1 8 oz can of tomato sauce
• 1/2 cup ketchup
• 1 Tbs Brown Sugar
• 1 tsp ground mustard
• 1 tsp white vinegar
• 1 Tbs Worcestershire sauce
• Salt & Pepper to taste
• Bread or Buns

1. Cook your hamburger meat with the onion, then drain, adding it back to your skillet. (I halved my meat as my son in-law is allergic to all things onion!)
2. Make your sauce by mixing the rest of the ingredients in a small bowl then add to your drained meat; simmering about 10 minutes.
3. Toast your buns (or not) & top with your favorite condiment, add some cheese (or not), then heap a ladle of the meat mix on your buns, adding to your plate chips, veggies or whatever your flavor and Dig In! (Be sure to have a napkin handy!)

I already know I’ll be making this sooner than the next 15 yrs!

Note: My usual fashion is to provide #twofers; an original recipe that inspires my remake. While I can remake this adding other ingredients such as sweet peppers or garlic, I chose not to because it is incredible just as it is. Thank you Meggan for sharing this recipe! Y’all should check out her other goodies at www.CulinaryHill.com!

Tell me about a favorite of yours to make when company comes over.
