Rubs & Spice Mixes

The garlic salt/lemon pepper mix is also great for spicing up your corn meal for frying fish and flour for chicken and pork. Another mix I make is for roasting/smoking beef. I like to buy spices and such in the $1.00 jars of store brand just for ease of measuring when making bigger batches... and I like big batches! For beef I start w/ 1 each $1.00 jar of garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper and ground red pepper. Dump them all into a 1 quart Mason jar and add 2 jars of sea salt or kosher salt. Seal the deal and shake well. If you like a sweeter dry rub, measure 1 jar into a bowl and add some brown sugar (I never add more than 1/4 jar to start). You can refill the original $1.00 jars to take with when camping, share w/ friends... Just don't share the recipe! It'll be our secret!
