Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (helps to thicken and coat and helps to keep the mixture from clumping as it is stored)
- 1 teaspoon cayenne
- 1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper (add more or less to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon oregano or Mexican oregano, optional
Instructions
Mix together all ingredients. Makes about 1/2 cup. Store in a tightly sealed jar in a dark, cool cupboard. Increase as desired.
Use 2 1/2 to 3 tablespoons (this amount equals a 1 1/4 ounce seasoning packet) per one pound of browned and drained ground beef. Push aside the ground beef, add the seasoning, and toast for a minute, until just fragrant. Add 1/2 to 3/4 cup of water and simmer for several minutes to the desired consistency.
