Taco Sauce

This recipe is the same stuff that is in the envelopes of taco seasoning that you buy at the store. We make extra taco meat ahead of time and freeze it for a quick Mexican meal. The taco meat also works well over a salad.

INGREDIENTS:

2          tablespoons flour
2          teaspoons chili powder
1 ½       teaspoons dried minced onion
1 ¼       teaspoons salt
1          teaspoon paprika
¾         teaspoon crushed beef bouillon cube
¼         teaspoon sugar
¼         teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼         teaspoon garlic powder
dash onion powder

DIRECTIONS:

Combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl.  Prepare taco meat using 1 pound of ground beef and following the same spunky directions as on the original package.

BROWN ground beef; drain. Add seasoning mix and 3/4 cup of water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer uncovered, 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.  HEAT taco shells or tortillas as directed on package.  SERVE bowls of seasoned ground beef, lettuce, tomato and cheese.
