ALL PURPOSE HOUSE SEASONING



All Purpose House Seasoning image

This is my very own all purpose seasoning blend that I use on a daily basis. Will store on the counter up to 2 months. Will keep in the freezer for up to 12 months. Use anyplace you would use regular salt and pepper. Feel free to experiment with your favorite dried herbs and spices. I also keep smaller batches (just split a recipe) on the counter with 1 strip of dried lemon and another with 1 strip of dried lime in it. Simply peel a strip of the zest and leave it on the counter overnight to dehydrate it. I have yet another with dried mint in it.

ALL PURPOSE MEXICAN CHILI SEASONING MIX



All Purpose Mexican Chili Seasoning Mix image

I got the original recipe from budget101 but have tweeked it a bit. I have discovered that this seasoning can take the place of many I would have otherwise bought.

Categories     Seasoning Mixes

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 c dried parsley
1/3 c dried minced onion
1/4 c dried minced chives
1/3 c chili powder
1/4 c dried cumin
1/4 c salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp ground black pepper
2 Tbsp sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Mix all ingredients and blend well. Store in an air tight container.
  • 2. For tacos: Brown 1 pound of hamburger and drain. Add 2 T. of seasoning, 2 T. of ketchup, and 1/2 cup water. Simmer stirring occasionally until liquid is reduced. Use for nachos, tacos, taco salad, or on hot dogs for chili dogs with cheese and onions.
  • 3. For beans: Sort, rinse, and soak 1 cup of pinto beans. Add to pot with 1 rounded tablespoon of seasoning mix, 3 slices cooked crumbled bacon, and 1 T. of fat or oil. Cover with water. Cook until beans are tender. To make baked beans, add ketchup, brown sugar, and onion to taste. Bake as desired. These beans are so good and the only way I prepare them now!
  • 4. For dip: Add 3 T. mix to 1 cup each of sour cream and mayonaise. If desired add 1 or more of the following: 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 c. crumbled cooked bacon, 1 chopped green onion. Refrigerate to blend flavors.
  • 5. For chili: Make mix as for tacos but increase mix to 1 1/2 tablespoons. After making meat, add 1 can of kidney or pinto beans, drained and about 2 cups of low or no sodium tomatoes (I use a pint of home canned). Simmer for about 20 minutes. Tastes even better for lunch the next day!
  • 6. For sloppy joes: Make mix as for tacos but do not cook yet. Add 2-3 T. brown sugar, 2 tsp. mustard, 1 tsp ground horseradish, 2 tsp. worcesterchire sauce and 1/4 cup ketchup. Simmer for about 10 minutes. Serve on buns with pickles, cheese, chopped onions, and mustard. This is good on mashed potatoes too.
  • 7. I have used this to season cooked chicken, beef, and pork for tacos and burritos. I have used it like a rub on grilled meat. It is really good!

ALL-PURPOSE MEXICAN SEASONING



All-Purpose Mexican Seasoning image

Don't buy MSG-loaded Adobo, Sauzon, or store-bought fajita seasoning. Combine with oil and use it to marinate corn, chickpeas, potatoes, and beans for a crispy healthy snack, and it's also great for tacos, fajitas, quesadillas, and I swear by this seasoning for my arroz con frijoles. It works for other Latin American foods too.
