Grill Seasoning

raisdbywolvz's Note:

Lately I've seen a lot of recipes that call for grill seasoning. Besides the cost (nearly $5 for a bottle), it's chock full of MSG and other nasties. Taking a tip from Rachael Ray, I've made my own and use it for anything I'm grilling or want to give a grilled taste to. UPDATE: Monstr pointed out there's no MSG in McCormick's grill seasoning. There is, however, hydrogenated oil in it, and MSG can be found in other brands. So read your labels, and if MSG, hydrogenaged oils or the price tag bother you, mixing your own is the way to go.

• Total Time: 5 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 7-8

Yield: 4.0 oz

• 3 tablespoons fresh coarse ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Directions:

1. Mix all ingredients together well and store in an airtight container.
2. Use it for anything you're grilling or when you're looking for a grilled taste.
3. Note: Corriander can be replaced with any herb you like. This is the one I hear called for most often. Experiment!
4. Another note: This is a 3:1 ratio, for the most part. Make any amount, just allow for 3 parts pepper, 1 part each of salt, onion powder, garlic powder and corriander, and 1/3 part crushed red pepper flakes. Using tablespoons, this makes enough for 7 or 8 meals under normal usage.

This is delicious! I made this for use in a recipe for chicken sloppy joes, and since I only needed 1 Tbs, I didn't really measure, just eyeballed it. The flavor is wonderful. I will have to try this on some more things in the summer when we fire up the grill.

This is really good and much cheaper than buying it ready made! Thanks!
