Copycat Shake 'n Bake (Italian Flavor)

Here's a new take on an old favorite! This is delicious on pork chops, steaks, chicken, even fish!I have not made this yet, so I do not know how much it makes. I'm sure it must make enough for a couple of pounds of meat. The amount, therefore, will be a guestimate.
