Notes
I recommend using 1 tablespoon of seasoning per pound of meat or veggies that you’d like to season.
The bbq seasoning will stay good, stored in an airtight container in the pantry, for up to 6 months. After that the spice blend will not “go bad” but as spices sit longer, they begin to lose their flavor.
I recommend storing the seasoning mix in an 8 ounce mason jar. If doubling the recipe, use a pint size or 16 ounce mason jar. I recommend labeling the bbq seasoning with a date and using the seasoning mix within 6 months. In my house, we double this recipe and it’s easily gone in a month, so I don’t think you’ll have a problem using it all up!
To make the bbq seasoningspicy, add 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper to the mix. If you’d like to add just a hint of spice to the mix, go ahead and add 1 teaspoon.
