As I was pouring the last packet of Onion Soup Mix into my sloppy joes the other day, I thought....Now, wait a minute! This is just dried onion flakes and bouillon for the most part! I can make this and save money! So I did! Here's what you need:
Ingredients:
3T Minced, dried onion flakes that expired in 2004. (No, really!)
1T + 1t Beef Bouillon
1t Onion Powder
In a small bowl, mix all ingredients together.
I figured you didn't need a picture of me doing that.
Pour onto a piece of doubled over tinfoil.*
Fold up like a little tamale and place in a baggie.
Label the baggie (unlike mine in the picture)
with the date and contents.
*Packaging: At this point, you could separate it into two separate foil packs. This recipe equates to two store bought packets. If keeping in one packet like I did, you'll just measure out 2 heaping Tablespoons into your recipe to equate to one package of store bought. Or, eyeball it and dump what looks like half, like I would.
This whole recipe costs .26c. That's .13c per packet, which is about 1/4 the price of the store bought. I'd say that's worth the (miniscule) hassle of making it yourself!
