Pretty good, will definitely be making this again! I will increase the pepper flakes next time though, it needs some more heat. :-)

Thnx for saving the day, Iowahorse. Needed some mix for Recipe #388527. Did sub fresh garlic and did not have green chili pepper flakes so used some green Tabasco. Worked out well. A salad on the side, and it didn't need anything else. Thnx for posting your recipe.

This is the best of all these homemade spice packets. My friends and family won't eat the package mix anymore. GREAT JOB !

Used for Spicy Italian sloppy joes. Very good, quick and easy.

To spicy! But...I ended up adding a few dollops of honey and brown sugar and it has a good bbq sauce taste to it so all is not lost. We'll use it on ribs tomorrow night for dinner. Might try again but will cut the chili pepper flakes way down.
