So one night I was cooking and ran out of seasoned salt. I use it in many recipes, one of my kids favorites is seasoned salt pork chops. So what was I to do? I made homemade seasoned salt recipe. It was either have cranky, fussy kids who didn't want to eat because the pork chops are ‘ewwy yucky' (their words not mine!) or make my own. I don't know about you, but I'd make anything to avoid cranky kids…..
I have noticed that the more things we make, the more we save. Why buy an expensive bottle of seasoned salt when I can make it from spices I already have in my cabinet? Plus I find I can always adjust it and make a better version. Like my seven things I stopped buying and started making posts. I also started making my own hickory bbq sauce and using it to make my own slow cooker bbq beans. All of which has saved me money over the long run, plus it's healthier because I know exactly what goes into the items I make, no preservatives needed.

Ingredients
2 tablespoons garlic salt
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon ground mustard
Directions
Add all 3 ingredients to a bowl. Then mix well.
Very Simple. Then store in a labeled spice container for next time. No need to buy the special pre-mixed seasoned salt. It's very easy to make, and I always have the spices on hand to make it. Plus you can make it your own, don't like so much garlic? Use regular salt with a little garlic powder and the rest of the ingredients.
