How To Make Paula Deen House Seasoning

- Mix Well: Whisk or shake the ingredients together until they are thoroughly combined and the color is uniform.
- Store: Transfer the seasoning blend to a sealed glass jar or spice container for storage.
Recipe Tips
- What kind of salt is best? Kosher salt is recommended because its larger crystals distribute more evenly and it’s less “salty” by volume than table salt. If you must use table salt, consider using slightly less.
- How do I get the best mix? The easiest way to mix the seasoning is to put all the ingredients in a mason jar, seal the lid tightly, and shake vigorously until everything is evenly distributed.
- How much should I use? A little goes a long way. This is a potent, savory blend, so start with a small sprinkle and add more to taste.
- Can I adjust the ratios? Absolutely. The 2:1:1 ratio (salt:pepper:garlic) is the classic, but feel free to adjust it to your personal preference. If you love garlic, add a little more.
How to Use House Seasoning
This all-purpose blend is incredibly versatile. Use it to season almost any savory dish:
- Proteins: Sprinkle it generously on chicken, pork chops, fish, or steak before grilling, roasting, or pan-searing.
- Vegetables: Toss with vegetables like broccoli, potatoes, or asparagus before roasting.
- Everyday Use: Use it to season French fries, popcorn, scrambled eggs, or even as a finishing salt on salads.
How To Store House Seasoning
- Store: Keep the seasoning blend in a sealed, airtight container, like a glass mason jar, in a cool, dry place like your pantry. If stored properly, it will stay fresh for up to 6 months.

FAQs
You can, but you should use less. Table salt has smaller crystals and is denser, so it tastes saltier by volume. If substituting, start with about ⅓ cup of table salt and adjust from there.
The only “spice” comes from the black pepper. It is a savory and flavorful blend, but not typically considered hot or spicy.
This specific ratio of salt, pepper, and garlic powder creates a well-balanced, savory blend that enhances the flavor of food without overpowering it. It’s a classic, time-tested combination.
