Bulk Taco Seasoning Mix

I found this recipe at recipezaar a little while ago and it is a great mix to have on hand. I just mix one or two batches up and store it in a washed out spaghetti sauce jar (a baby food jar would be the perfect size) so that it is ready to go when I need it.

Yield: 3/4 cups
1/4 cup dried onions, minced
1/4 cup chili powder
1 tablespoon salt (may want to increase or decrease depending on personal preference)
4 teaspoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon dried garlic, minced (I think I just used ground)
1 tablespoon cumin, ground
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes, crushed (optional)
2 teaspoons beef bouillon granules (I didn't have any and it still tasted great)
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano

I also added a dash of cayenne to give it a little zing.

Combine the ingredients and store in an airtight container.

Add 2 tablespoons to 1 lb. cooked and drained beef and 1/3-1/2 cup water and cook until done.

I usually just throw a little and don't worry to much about exact measurements. You can use a couple tablespoons of this mix in place of a taco seasoning packet. Having this mix pre-made saves time and money!
