My son, in particular, loves tacos. Hard, soft, he doesn’t care, but he has a particular affinity for tacos made from ground beef, and a love of deep, rich flavors and just a little heat. (More heat as he’s gotten older! Can that kid go through the Sriracha now that he’s in his 20’s!) So we started making our Taco Seasoning Homemade, and don’t worry about that little mention of heat and Sriracha; this Homemade Taco Seasoning is family-friendly.

It has a complex, pungent and mildly spicy flavor and it’s perfect to cut through the buttery richness of your pork shoulder or ribs, no matter how they’re made.

Substitute for Chili Packet
I absolutely love this Substitute for Chili Packet Recipe. That’s because the spices and herbs are based on my favorite Chili recipe. I can’t claim that it might taste exactly like any of the commercial packets you might buy, but I can claim this will make a perfectly delish pot of chili…great flavor, not too spicy and family-friendly.
