Ground Beef with Homemade Taco Seasoning Mix

Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons dried minced onion
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
• 1/4 teaspoon dried minced garlic
• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1/2 cup water

Directions

Mix minced onion, salt, chili powder, cornstarch, cumin, red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, dried minced garlic, and oregano in a bowl.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Crumble ground beef into the hot skillet. Cook and stir until the beef is completely browned, 7 to 10 minutes. Drain and discard any excess grease.

Return ground beef to heat. Pour seasoning mixture and water over the beef; stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook until the moisture absorbs into the meat, about 5 minutes.
