Multi-Purpose Seasoning Blend

This seasoning blend is perfect for ribs, shredded pork, chicken, burgers, and more! Sweet, salty, and just enough heat to make this a go to seasoning for so many dishes.

This seasoning blend uses a blend of light brown sugar, chili powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and some other seasonings to create a mixture that works great on a wide variety of meats.

This seasoning blend is one I think you will be reaching for time and again, especially during grilling season. However, I find myself using it year round, especially when I make pulled pork in the slow cooker.
