For those not wanting to use a packet of taco seasoning, here is our old taco seasoning recipe. Been using this since 1974.

Chili Powder 13 tsp.
Cumin 6 3/4 tsp.
Black Pepper 5 tsp.
Accent 2 1/2 tsp.
Salt 3 1/2 tsp.
Garlic Powder 2 tsp.

For every pound of ground meat, use 8 oz. can of Tomato Sauce and 6 tsp. of spice blend.

Add chopped onions to meat and brown.

Drain grease from meat before adding sauce.
