Homeade Taco seasoning mix

Mix 1/4 cup salt free chili powder ( I just used regular chili powder and it had a little salt in it)
1 Tbsp each of dried oregano and ground cumin
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
store in an airtight jar

For taco's and Chili: Use 2 1/2 Tbsp per lb. of ground beef or turkey
*When I add the seasoning to the meat I also add 1/2-1 cup water and let it cook on high until most of the liquid is absorbed.

As a rub or for fajitas: use 1 tbsp per lb of steak, chicken or pork


Recipe #2
Ingredients:
4 tbsp. chili powder
3 tbsp. plus 1 tsp. paprika
3 tbsp. ground cumin
1 tbsp. plus 2 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. garlic powder
¼ tsp. cayenne pepper

Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a bowl, and mix well to blend. Store in an airtight container until ready to use.

To prepare taco meat, use 2 heaping tablespoons in place of a package of taco seasoning (cook approximately 1 lb. of beef or chicken, add 1 cup of water with the seasoning, and simmer until the liquid is almost completely gone.)

Easy one pot Brownies

1 12-ounce bag chocolate chips (use the kind you prefer I used Hershey's special dark)
1 cup butter (2 sticks)
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 large eggs at room temperature
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt butter and chocolate chips. Stir constantly and remove from heat when chips are fully melted. In the same pot, blend in the sugar and vanilla. Then add eggs, blending fully one at a time. Add flour and salt and beat until air bubbles form in the batter. Pour into a greased 9 X 13-inch pan (this recipe works great doubled and poured into a large 11 X 17-inch rimmed baking sheet). Bake for 20 minutes. Turn heat down to 325 degrees and bake for 10 more minutes.
