Tacos

We usually eat at church on Wednesday nights and last night we had tacos.  Every Sunday we will look at our menu and then we will sign up for what we want to bring.  I have never made the meat filling for tacos before but that was the only thing that no one had signed up for when I went to look at the list. 
Here's my recipe which I think turned out pretty good.

Taco seasoning
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon black pepper

Directions:
In a small bowl mix together all of these spices and store in an airtight container.

When I went to make the tacos I browned approximately 3 pounds of hamburger.  I mixed 3 tablespoons of  the seasoning mix with 2 tablespoons of flour.  I sprinkled this mixture over the ground beef and then added about 2/3 cups of water and 2 small cans of tomato sauce.  I put in the crock pot and let it cook on low for about 3 hours.

Cinnamon Coffee Cake

I made this coffee cake recently for a ladies Bible study that I host at my house.  It turned out great and I plan on making this again.

1 cup butter, softened
2  3/4 cups sugar, divided
4 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
3 cups flour
2 cups (16 oz) sour cream
2 Tbl. cinnamon

Directions:
In a large bowl, cream butter and 2 cups of sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.  Beat in vanilla.  Add flour and sour cream alternately, beating just enough after each addition to keep batter smooth.

Spoon one half of the batter into a greased 13 X 9 pan.  Combine cinnamon and remaining sugar; sprinkle over batter.  Add remaining batter and bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes.
