    What You Need To Make All Purpose Creole Seasoning

    • salt
    • smoked paprika
    • garlic powder
    • onion powder
    • dried oregano
    • dried thyme
    • coarse ground black pepper
    • ground cayenne pepper

     

    Ingredients for Creole Seasoning

     

    Store bought might do in a pinch, but it’s always better when you can make your own spice mixes.  You can control the salt levels, eliminate preservatives and avoid MSG altogether.  As if those aren’t incentive enough, making your own mixes also lets you add in or amp up what you love.  Garlic is your jam (yes, please)?  Add a little more.  Like a little heat (or maybe less)?  This is your show now.  You’re calling the shots!

     

     

    A jar and spoon of creole seasoning

     

    This All Purpose Creole Seasoning comes together in less than 5 minutes with ingredients you probably already have in your spice cabinet.  It also makes enough that you can season several dishes with it before having to make more.

     

    And make more you will!  You’re going to love the way this creole seasoning mix livens up your favorite dishes.  Use it as a rub on chicken thighs before you put them on the grill.  Work it into your hamburger patties.  Add a quick dash to your white rice.  If you can dream it, you can use this mix to spice it up!  You’re gonna want to sprinkle a little of this on everything!
