Flavorful seasoned salt recipe and one to be used again. I was unsure of the sugar but it seemed to add a nice carmel hint when grilled on a nice sirloin steak for hubby and myself. The flavors blended well and this was easy to make from cupboard ingredients. Much nicer than the store bought as I can monitor salt intake. I bet this ould be grat as a rub prior to making soups and stews. I will use it thus when fall comes around again. YUMMY! Made for the Shady Ladies ZWT 2011

I was going to cut the recipe in half then decided why not make the full recipe. Glad I did. I used my own red pepper powder. Thanks

I have used this rub on Pork, Beef, and Chicken with great success. Usually message this rub plus plenty of minced fresh garlic on my Pork Ribs the night before I put them on the grill. Course sea salt adds flavor and the sugar caramelization. <br/>Thank you Lavender Lynn for a really useful and tasty Meat Rub.

Very tasty seasoned salt blend. I used sea salt, and had this on a beef roast. You can't really taste the sugar as sugar, but it adds a lot to the balance of flavors. Thanks for posting! Made for ZWT Witchin Kitchen.
