Taco Johns Hot Sauce
Comments (9)I know this is a VERY old thread, but I had to share this. I spent quite some time trying to Google how to make Taco John's red sauce and I figured it out!! I decided to look at the ingredients on a Taco John's sauce packet and try to find something similar in ingredients at the store. Taco John's packet reads..... "Water, tomato paste, chili puree, jalapeno puree (jalapeno peppers, salt, acetic acid, vinegar), salt, sugar, citric acid, sodium benzoate as a preservative." There is a party dip called "Hell On The Red" that I found locally here in KC. It has just about everything Taco John's sauce has with the exception of the green chili puree. So.....I got some green chilis in a can to add. When I tasted Party Dip, to me it was too hot (even though it says mild) I decided to add a can of chopped tomatoes with green chilis (instead of the can of green chilis) with half of the jar of Party Dip. Put it in my little electric chopper thing and mulched it down to a sauce. I added like 1.5 teaspoon sugar and dashed some salt in there. Omg that's IT!!! My beloved Taco John's sauce! I made a beef super burrito and I was in heaven!!!...See MoreTaco Salad for 150
Comments (26)Success!  IÂm thrilled to say that everyone loved the Tacos!  Thanks so much to all of you (Linda especially) who helped me with this. Yesh - I received a lot of flax this week over some of my decisions, but I stuck to my guns and was prepared to resign after the event if need be. However, these went over so well that I think we will be serving them at our Jazz Festival later in the year. No one there had ever heard of Walking Tacos before and I got some interesting comments from the kids as they came through the line.  Some were more than a little skeptical.  The one who was the loudest in her skepticism came back for seconds. :-) One kid said "These make me happy!" LOL - That was the Booster PresidentÂs son.  :-) I had prepared for 200 tacos  but as Linda predicted, we ate far less. I've not counted the remaining chip bags, but it was less than 150. I discovered that cooking ground meat in a Roaster Oven works really well.  If any of you cook bulk ground meat for your freezer or ??, you should try this.  I only used 10 lbs, but IÂm sure 15 would have worked too.  Just turn the oven up to about 400, place the meat in breaking it up as best as you can, and cover with the lid.  Every 10 minutes or so, stir and break up the meat more.  It will take about an hour to brown the meat.  I then drained the fat and placed it back into the RO with the water and spices and let it simmer with the lid off for about 40 minutes - stirring occasionally. So easy! After testing this method earlier in the week, I cooked the remaining 20 lbs in 2 Roaster Ovens 2 hours before heading to the school so that it would be hot and ready to go. I combined all the meat into one roaster which I plugged in at the school to keep warm. One of the difficulties of heading the food committee is that everyone has a different idea about food safety. One of the new moms who showed up to help, was not happy that I was serving the shredded lettuce right from the bag. I may yet hear more on this one  she may complain to "higher powers". And "they" (the boosters) wonder why no one wants this job... I'm happy. :-)...See MoreA pound of hamburger and practical math
Comments (66)or how about when they have blocks of cheese on sale for $5.59 a block or packages of chicken on sale for $7 a package but the amounts in the packages are slightly different. I go through every single package to make sure I'm getting the biggest package for my set price. Those people who just pick up a package without looking, I just want to shake them. My son taught his GF this secret and she was so excited. I'm like the rest of you in that I do figure out the unit price. My son can't read his way out of a paper bag (well he can now but not in high school) but he could look at a math question and give you the answer. In Grade 9 Math one of the tests required that you right out all of the steps needed to answer the question. He got all the answers right but failed the test because he couldn't write out the steps. Eventually it was a skill that he did have to learn - sort of....See MoreHamburger hands?
Comments (80)A suggestion.. gloves in gloves. I wear a lot of gloves, from the good blue ones for toxic hot peppers down to doeskin that needs talcum powder to fit for the day. Health reasons, and also decades worth of reactment wearing gloves. Around town as a set of gloves. Instead of subjecting your skin directly. Consider washing and sanitizing your hands with plastic/neo/latex on like it was your regular skin. Wash and sanitize your gloved hands just like you would your open skin hands. Use/dispose of these gloves responsibly. Thin cotton gloves are a godsend for lining those non permeable gloves and also helping lock in hamburger hand treatments during the day. Depending on how you use your cotton gloves with hand treatments, they can be washed and reused many times....See MoreBumblebeez SC Zone 7
