TOP 3 HOMEMADE SEASONINGS EVERY KITCHEN NEEDS

On today’s Homemade Monday I will be featuring the top three homemade seasoning mixes from my kitchen. I was motivated to share this featured article after putting together a project for my MOPS group on making homemade taco seasoning last week. These recipes are so tasty you will never buy seasoning packs from the store again!

TACO SEASONING

Ingredients

2 tablespoons chili powder

1 tablespoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon garlic powder

2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, combine all seasonings together and store in an airtight container.
2. This recipe is enough for 2 servings when cooking one pound of ground turkey or beef.

Tips

• When making ground taco meat I like to add 1/4 cup of water to the meat and seasonings to -keep the meat moist.
• I was able to get a six pack of seasoning containers for $3 at target in the dollar section.

DRY RUB SEASONING MIX

Ingredients

2 Tablespoons Paprika

1 Tablespoons Kosher Salt

1 Tablespoons Sugar

1 Tablespoons Cumin

1Tablespoons Granulated Garlic

1 Tablespoons Chili Powder

1/2 tablespoons Mustard Powder

1/2 tablespoons Ground Black Pepper

1/2 tablespoons Cayenne Pepper

 

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients and gently stir together. Store the seasoning blend in a small container or 4oz mason jars.
2. When cooking this can be added to most meats for grilling. It tastes heavenly as a rub for steaks and chicken drums.

Tip

• For best flavoring cover meat with seasoning and marinate 1-2 hours before grilling.

GARLIC BREAD SEASONING

Ingredients

1. 1/4 cup powdered Parmesan cheese
2. 1 Tablespoons garlic powder
3. 1 teaspoons dried basil
4. 1 teaspoons dried oregano
5. 1 teaspoons dried parsley
6. 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt

Instructions

1. Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl and then store in a small container that has a lid for later use. I store mine in the fridge to keep cheese fresh.
2. Spread melted butter or olive oil over bread then sprinkle seasoning.
3. Wrap the bread in foil and bake in the oven at 375 until bread becomes golden brown and crispy.
