TACO SEASONING MIX (Copycat recipe)

INGREDIENTS: 2 tbsp's. all-purpose flour, 3/4 tsp. salt, 1/4 tsp. dried minced onion, 1/4 tsp. paprika, 1 1/2 tsp's. chili powder, dash of garlic powder and dash of onion powder.

DIRECTIONS: Use your hands to thoroughly incorporate everything into the ground beef before cooking.

Italian Bread Dipping Sauce - Recipe #1
Submitted by: Kristina
"I am not sure but if this is the dipping sauce for Johnny Carrino's here is how they do it.Take minced garlic and fry it just until it is brown and crunchy (be careful to watch closely because Garlic burns quickly) take out and place on a paper towel. When you are ready to serve place a pinch of italian herbs (dried purchased in store) on a saucer and a tsp. of the fried garlic and pour fresh extra virgin olive oil over the top. It is also good if you put a little grated parmesan in the mix and I also like to put a dash of balsamic vinegar in it."
