Instructions
Place all the ingredients in a jar with a tight-fitting lid, fasten tightly, and shake to incorporate fully.
Use as needed (I recommend 2 tablespoons of seasoning per pound of meat.)
NOTE: Most store bought packets include flour, which is used as a thickening agent. If you want to include it in your mix, I recommend a 1/2 teaspoon added into the 2 tablespoons recipe.
This seasoning mix will store well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 6 months.
