Maybe obvious but I just thought to myself “I make this meal all the time and every time I mix together the required amount of spices. Why don’t I just make a shit load and then use as much as I need each time?”
Gonna do this from now on its actually gonna save me so much psychic damage from fucking around with powder.
I like to control it based on the salt levels of the other items we include. We often include 3 cans of beans, along with beef and tomatoes. Sometimes they come unsalted or we use different ingredients that may need less or more.
