Chili Dry Mix

Use to season chili, refried beans, taco meat, or spanish rice. Multiply by 4 and store in gallon container. I love this recipe and use it for so many things. It really is good. For the tomato powder, I made my own simply by using my dehydrated tomato chunks and chopping them up in my blender.

1 cup tomato powder

1 ½ c dried veggies (dehydrated onion, celery, and peppers, in equal portions, mixed and chopped in the blender and then add some garlic powder or dried garlic, yummy)

½ cup chili powder

3 tbsp cumin

1 tbsp salt

Taco Meat: Add ¼ c mix to burger or veggie meat and saute loosely in oil until brown.

Cornmeal Mix Recipe

¼ c powdered milk non instant

2 ½ tsp salt

½ c dehydrate egg whites

3 1/3 c white sugar

If you grind your own cornmeal (by grinding popcorn), grind a small bit of wheat after to clean your stones. This recipe will make about 15 cups. To use: 3 cups mix to 1 cup water and if you have to add oil, then add about 1/3 cup. Bake an 8 inch square greased, for 40 minutes or 10 muffins for 20 minutes at 350.
