Having Homemade Taco Seasoning on Hand Will Help You Save Money and Easily Create Delicious Meals!  

Homemade Taco Seasoning can be used in so many delicious recipes. Two of our favorites are Slow Cooker Mexican Meatloaf and Instant Pot Taco Meat!

HOMEMADE TACO SEASONING RECIPE

When you think of Taco Seasoning, you might think of those handy little packets from the grocery store. They’re convenient and they’re premixed.

Did you know you can easily make your own Taco Seasoning? It’s really quick to prepare, and mixing your own can save money. It also tastes so much better than the stuff that’s been sitting on the store shelf!  It can also help you rescue dinner when all you have in your refrigerator is a pound or two of ground beef.  It really works great to create easy crockpot meals.

CAN I DOUBLE OR TRIPLE THE HOMEMADE TACO SEASONING RECIPE?

If you are likely to use it a lot (like I do), you can definitely make a larger batch and store it in a small jar. That way, whenever you make something that calls for taco seasoning, you can simply use you Homemade Taco Seasoning!

CAN I ADJUST THE SPICE LEVEL?

That’s something I love about homemade seasoning mixes: you can easily adjust it to your family’s needs! If your family likes things a little less spicy, simply reduce the amount of spicy ingredients. If your family likes more spice, feel free to kick it up a notch!

WILL HOMEMADE TACO SEASONING KEEP WELL?

Like any spice, you won’t want to keep it on the shelf indefinely, but this mix does stay fresh when kept in an airtight container. We use it pretty often, and I have never anything but rave reviews!

Happenings from our family of 9

As I previously wrote, my daughter loves horses, so much so that she made horse cake for her birthday.  Speaking of her birthday, I think she had  two parties and multiple lunches over a two week period.  I remember when birthdays were just an evening at home with family!  She is such a lucky girl, or uh spoiled may be more like it.

Testimonials

  • Amorette DavisUser of the Free Freezer to Slow Cooker One Week Menu

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

  • Linda SearsOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Menus

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

  • Dawn S.Buyer of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebook Series
    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
