If I could only keep one seasoning in my kitchen, it would be Tha Stuff. This simple, bold, all-purpose seasoning blend is something I reach for every single day — from sprinkling it on morning eggs, to firing up BBQ ribs, to seasoning a juicy steak. It’s smoky, savory, a little peppery, and it just makes everything taste better. The best part? It’s easy to make with spices you probably already have in your pantry. 

Ingredients:

• 2/3 Cup Redmond Real Salt
• 2/3 Cup Garlic Powder 
• 1/3 Cup Black Pepper
• 2 Tbsp Paprika 
• 2 Tbsp Onion Powder
• 1 Tbsp Ground Turmeric 
• 1 Tbsp Chili Powder 
• 1/2 Tbsp White Pepper
  

Instructions:

1. Gather all ingredients.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine everything until well blended.
3. Transfer your seasoning to an airtight container or shaker for storage.
4. That’s it! You now have Tha Stuff ready to go for everyday cooking. 

Once you try Tha Stuff, you’ll wonder how you cooked without it. Mix up a batch, keep it on your counter, and reach for it anytime a dish needs that extra something. Give it a try, and let me know in the comments what you’re putting it on first!

How to Store, Customize, and Use This Homemade Seasoning Mix

• Storage: Save old seasoning containers or use a mason jar with a shaker lid. Stored properly, it will stay fresh for 6 months or more. Save some of the empty seasoning containers to store your mixed seasoning in. I like these seasoning shakers from Amazon.
• Customization: Love heat? Add cayenne or crushed red pepper flakes. Want smoky flavor? Swap regular paprika for smoked paprika. Make some adjustments and come up with your own version. You can also check out my Cajun version of Tha Stuff Cajun Seasoning.
• Everyday Uses: Sprinkle it on scrambled eggs, roasted veggies, burgers, brisket, pork shoulder, or even popcorn.

Boost Flavor With the Right Salt (and Save 15%)

The one ingredient I don’t skimp on when making my own seasonings is salt. A good salt makes all the difference in flavor. My favorite is Redmond Real Salt because it’s unrefined, full of natural trace minerals, and doesn’t taste harsh like regular table salt.
