All purpose meat seasoning

This all purpose meat seasoning can be used when making burgers, meatballs, meatloaf and many other hamburger based dishes. It can also be used to season ground beef, ground chicken, ground lamb, ground pork and ground turkey. Take it with you when you fire up the grill and sprinkle it on your steaks and chops.

Ingredients:

• 1 tsp. Basil
• 1 Tbsp. Black Pepper
• 1 tsp. Chili Powder
• 1 tsp. Chipotle Powder
• 2 Tbsp. Cumin
• 2 tsp. Garlic Powder
• 2 tsp. Onion Powder
• 1 tsp. Oregano
• 1 tsp. Paprika
• 1 tsp. Rosemary
• 3 Tbsp. Sage
• 3 Tbsp. Salt (use Smoked Salt for a little more smokey flavor)

Directions:

Use only 100% Natural Spices to make this all purpose meat seasoning.

Combine all ingredients in a small stainless steel mixing bowl and stir the mixture thoroughly.

While this mixture is fine enough for most shakers, some people like their seasonings to be super-fine. If you who want a super-fine seasoning mixture, you may be able to grind the mixture down some, if you have a fine enough grinder blade.

Will fill an 8.4 ounce seasoning shaker. You may have more or less, depending on your own modification of the recipe and how fine the spices are you use.

Alternatives:

More Zest? Leave out the Basil, Oregano and Rosemary, while increasing the Chipotle Powder, Garlic Powder and Onion Powder to 1 Tbsp each.

More Kick? Leave out the Basil, Oregano and Rosemary, while increasing the Chili Powder, Chipotle Powder, and Paprika to 1 Tbsp each.

Hot? Leave out the Basil, Onion Powder, Oregano and Rosemary, Increasing the Chili Powder, Chipotle Powder, and Paprika to 1 Tbsp each. Add 2 tsp. Red Pepper (or Habanero Pepper if you are daring).

Use:

I shake on about 1 to 1 1/2 Tbsp, of this mixture, per 1 lb of ground meat. When I’m grilling, I lightly sprinkle this on steaks and chops.

Use more, for more flavor; Less for less flavor.

For Tacos, use 1 to 1 1/2 Tbsp, of this mixture, per 1 lb of ground meat plus an additional teaspoon of Cumin.

If I need a little extra energy, I’ll eat about 1/8 tsp and wash it down with water.
