Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup fine sea salt
  • 1/4 cup garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup onion powder
  • 2 tablespoons ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon paprika smoked for fun
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper less if you skip heat
  • 1 teaspoon ground thyme
  • 1 teaspoon ground oregano

Instructions
 

Gather Your Ingredients

  • Pull out all spices from your pantry. Check dates—they stay fresh longer. Lay a clean towel on your counter. This keeps things tidy. Breathe in that spice aroma. It gets you excited!

Measure the Base Flavors

  • Start with salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Scoop 1/4 cup each into the bowl. Use level spoons. No heaping here. These build the savory heart of your Paula Deen House Seasoning Recipe.

Add the Peppery Punch

  • Sprinkle in 2 tablespoons black pepper. Freshly ground tastes best. Stir once with a fork. Feel the coarse texture. This adds that bold zip to meats and veggies.

Mix in Color and Smoke

  • Add 1 tablespoon paprika. Go smoked for barbecue vibes. It gives a pretty red hue. Whisk lightly. Your mix starts looking like the real deal now.

Toss in the Herbs

  • Drop 1 tablespoon dried parsley. Add 1 teaspoon thyme and oregano each. These bring earthy notes. Swirl everything together. Smells like a Southern kitchen!

Finish with Heat

  • Sprinkle 1 teaspoon cayenne. Taste a tiny pinch—adjust if needed. Stir well one last time. Your house seasoning is alive with flavor.

Store It Right

  • Funnel into an airtight jar. Label with date. Shake before each use. Keeps flavor locked in for months. You're done!

Notes

  • Use fine salt to avoid grit on food.
  • Double garlic for steak lovers—it's a game-changer.
  • Skip cayenne for kid-friendly version.
  • Grind whole spices fresh for max flavor punch.
  • Mix into butter for compound spread on corn.
  • Try on popcorn: 1 teaspoon per bowl shakes up movie night.
  • Low-sodium swap: cut salt by half, add lemon zest.
  • BBQ rub twist: add brown sugar for sticky ribs.
