Christmas in July – Homemade Taco Seasoning
For my second gift idea this week, I went with a simple gift. Remember those crockpot chicken tacos I made last summer? With the homemade taco seasoning? Hubby and I love that taco seasoning. We use it anywhere you would normally use a packet of store-bought taco seasoning. We love it so much we thought it would be great to share with our family and friends.
So we mixed up a VERY large batch of the seasoning. I ordered some cute little jars and again put labels on them including instructions of how to make the taco seasoning when people ran out. I saved the label files if anyone is interested in them. Just shoot me an email.

How big a bottle of Guinness, please? (I’m not a beer person and I never stock beer so I’d really love to know, please!)
Can’t wait to try this recipe. Thank you, and warm regards,

Sorry, I’ll update the recipe. A bottle of Guinness has 11.2oz in it.
Now if only I knew where to procure mustard seeds from… I love mustard and would love to make some at home, too!

I buy mine at Penzey’s. We have one really close to our house in Cincinnati now, but they also have a website you can order from. Or you could check out Amazon.
I bookmarked this. I’ve been wondering how to make mustard from scratch. Thanks!

It’s definitely worth making at home!
WOW! This does sound easy!

It’s beyond easy 🙂
My boyfriend loves Guinness mustard. We used to be able to buy it from a farm shop in the UK, but I think they’ve stopped making it. So glad I found this recipe, I made it last night. Can’t wait to see how it turns out. Thanks so much for posting!

Let me know what you guys think of it! I’m in the process of making a HUGE batch to package up for holiday gifts for friends.
He loved it. It made quite a lot as well, so I’ve already handed a few jars to friends as a gift! Really tasty x
