[RECIPE] Taco Seasoning

 

  


Chili powder:  1 tbsp.
Garlic powder: .25 tsp.
Onion powder:  .25 tsp.
Red pepper:    .25 tsp.
Oregano:       .25 tsp.
Paprika:       .5 tsp.
Cumin:         1.5 tsp.
Salt:          1 tsp.
Pepper:        1 tsp.

 2 - 3 tbsp. per 1 lb. ground beef

2/3 cup water per 1 lb.  

 (1 tsp. corn starch / 2 tsp. flour for "stickiness")

 

Generally, just follow the directions for your run-of-the-mill seasoning from the grocery store. Brown ground beef (this can be taco seasoned a little beforehand) over high heat, remove and drain. Then saute onions and green peppers in the same pan. Add back in the ground beef with water and stir in seasoning (with optional corn starch / flour). Then cook it over [whatever] heat for as long as you want until it looks the way you want. Gets better after sitting in the fridge, so it makes great leftovers. Can be frozen.

So I don't have to continue looking this up in that little Instant Pot recipe book that I keep losing. 

("10-minute Natural Pressure Release" means to set it to "Keep Warm" mode and let that run for 10 minutes after cooking, then vent.)
