Of course, I tweaked it to up the garlic and onion to a TBS each. I'm a garlic/onion lover.
I added 1 tsp of cornstarch into the mix (you can use 2tsp flour as an equivalent) to help the sauce cling to the meat. Good, but there was still something missing....and I just didn't know what...
While making this, I searched and found elsewhere that someone listed a beef bullion cube in their recipe. I have the concentrated "Better than Bullion" paste, so I added one teaspoon of that to the beef.
AAAHH!!! SOO GOOOD! Whichever taco seasoning recipe you use, try adding the beef bullion or paste. It really ups the meaty flavor! Turns a 3 star into a 5 star!
Also, this recipe doesn't mention it, but it's good to add about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water with the mix after the beef has browned. This lets the seasoning become a clingy sauce and it all mingles happily.
