Ingredients

Instructions

  • Measure and mix all ingredients together
  • Store in a dry, airtight container
  • Use 2 tablespoons of seasoning to replace 1 packet of store-bought seasoning, adjust to taste

Notes

  • If you like a more mild flavor, try leaving out some of the pepper or garlic powder. Counteract some spice in your meal by adding either an acid like lemon juice or a dairy product.
  • To make it spicier, add a bit of cayenne or crushed red pepper.
  • Use 2 tablespoons per pound of ground meat or when substituting for 1 standard packet.
  • Be sure to store in a completely dry and clean airtight container
  • Best to consume within a few months, but seasoning will last as long as the expiration of the individual spices used.
