Crushed Red Pepper / Homemade Chili Seasoning Mix and Taco Seasoning Mix - Margaret Ullrich

I know how it is.

You're in a rush.

They're both red and they looked the same.

Some twit had put a bag in the wrong place.





Got an email asking if crushed dried red pepper can be used in place of paprika.

Ah... not really.



Paprika is ground from dried sweet red peppers.  

Crushed dried red pepper is made from hot red peppers.

Paprika is milder than crushed dried red pepper.
