Make Your Own Seasoning Packets!

Hey all! Have you ever been looking over a recipe for dinner and it calls for an "onion soup mix" packet? How about a "taco seasoning" packet? How many times have you passed that recipe up because you didn't have it? This was happening to me all too often, until... I decided to start making my own! Let me tell you, they are so easy and SO much better than those little convenient packets. I've never priced them out before, but I bet they're cheaper, too!

What I love about making my own seasoning packets is that I can control how much of each ingredient goes into my dish. Have you ever looked at how much sodium is in those tasty packets?!

First up, Onion Soup Mix. Here is what you'll need:

Ingredients:
2 1/2 Tbs dried minced onion
4 tsp beef seasoning, or 4 crushed beef buillion cubes
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper

Directions:
Mix it up! You're done.

Next up, Taco Seasoning:

Ingredients:

1 Tbs Chili Powder

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/8 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

1/4 tsp dried oregano

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

1 1/2 tsp cumin

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

Directions:

Mix it up!

If making ground beef or turkey for tacos-

Brown your meat, add your seasonings, add 2/3 cup water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer until water is gone.

Let us know if you give these a try! I hope you like them as much as we do!
