This turned out amazingly well. I got really tired of taco meat that was dry and flavorless, so I tried this. I omitted the bouillon because I didn't want it too salty, just salted to taste after the liquid had cooked down a little bit. I didn't have masa (corn flour) on hand so I threw some corn meal in the blender. Worked great, very tasty, very easy!

good. I didn't use ground chuck maybe that would have tasted better. But, it was still better then the powdered packets.

I made the following substitutions: 1/4t. seasoned pepper + 1/4t. salt = 1/2t. seasoned salt; 1/4t. garlic powder + 1/4t. salt = 1/2t. garlic salt; 1/2t. crushed red pepper flakes = 1/4t. ground red pepper. I made a double recipe and added some to the rice & beans before cooking them. I used 4T to add to a 1.25lb tray of ground turkey and skipped the washing step. It was all very yummy! I will make more to keep handy!

I made it vegetarian and omitted the beef and beef boullion. I also added a couple cloves of garlic and some onion as another reviewer mentioned. In place of beef, I used TVP (Textured Vegetable Protein). I'll use turkey next time.

I used corn meal since I had it on hand, instead of corn flour, and the results were still great!

My whole family loves this kind of taco meat. I never buy pre-packaged taco seasoning anymore. Instead of cornmeal, I just use cornbread mix, like jif or betty crocker. I also skip the ground red pepper since I have several kids and instead of minced onion, I just saute diced onion with the meat while it is cooking. Definately a keeper in our family!

This recipe was so yummy! I used regular flour instead of corn flour. I fried half of a medium onion and 3 cloves of garlic with the meat. I also added a can of diced tomatoes when the seasonings were added to the meat. I will definitely make this again!

This was very good. I didn't do it exactly. I had some beef broth left over so I used that rather than water and I let it simmer about 2 hours just because I could. I also used the same amounts listed but for 2 pounds of beef was perfect for us. I agree it needs a little something...I just don't know what that is. This will be what I use for tacos in the future. Thanks for the recipe.

It was a good substitute to the packets you get in the grocery store. Even though it was good something tasted like it was missing. I didnt have corn flour or beef boullion so that may have made the difference.I will however use again.

Very good, basic recipe. I kicked it up a notch with some extra hot pepper flakes and some chilies. We all have loads of seasonings in our cupboards, why not mix them up instead of buying the bottles for so much more $$. :)

Yum! I actually thought it tasted better than fast food. I didn't have the corn flour, but I saw that others used corn starch. It worked just fine for me. This didn't last too long in our home!

We loved this seasoning mix! It was so much better than what you buy in those little packets and a ton less salt. I will never buy a taco seasoning packet again. I have passed the recipe along and even thought about putting together small jars of it to give a Christmas presents. Yes, it is that good!

This recipe is great! I have made it a few times now and each time it comes out perfect. The taco meat is tasty and moist. It turns out i had no onion powder, but the recipe still came out fine. I used Adobo for the season salt and regular flour instead of corn flour. Recipe is definitely a keeper.

I made the recipe as written. My three-year old ate two whole tacos and my 18-month old ate half of one taco. That is really saying something about the flavor when both kids eat heartily. My husband and I enjoyed the flavor as well. I will definitely make it again.

This was an awesome, last minute find. I didn't have the beef bouillon, and it came out fine. Will definitely add it next time!

My family loved this seasoning. I used turkey instead of beef and my dad who won't even try anything healthy didn't even know that I wasn't using beef. Everyone like it so much better than the way we usually make tacos with the packet and beef. It was delicious!
