This was good but a bit bland for me. When I added the 7 teaspoons to the meat I also add 1 teaspoon of cornstarch. I will spice it up a bit more next time. -
This was just okay. Needed salt, and a little more heat. Ended up adding some extra spices.

We all agreed that this was lacking flavor. Not sure if we will use it again. But if we do I will double the amount of seasoning used and tweak it with some additional ingredients. -
This worked in a pinch, but the whole family agreed that it tasted more like a chili seasoning than taco seasoning. Thanks for sharing, WildlifeDi! -
This recipe is a winner for us. The seasoning blend is right on to the packaged mix we WERE buying. And the ability to customize is always a plus.

Thank you, thank you thank you! When I went to reach for my taco seasoning packet in my pantry today, voila!...it turned out to be sloppy joe seasoning mix instead. I just knew someone on Zaar could help me, and I wasn't disappointed. I had all the ingredients on hand, and I added some garlic powder, used a scant 1/2t. cumin (personal preference) and seasoned the taco meat with your recipe. The taco ring I baked on my baking stone tasted great thanks to you! Will make again in the future.
