Also, anyone who knows me knows I love food. Seriously. Like to a sinful level. And people like my cooking. They love the Hubs cooking. It's all about flavor. So why not combine the two?
A seasoning shaker is like the gift that keeps on giving. Like four or five or ten meals worth.
To make a few jars of Beef seasoning buy the following ingredients
3 pack of gravy mix
'jars' of red pepper flakes, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, minced onion, cumin, and pink salt.
Combine the full amount of paprika, garlic powder, minced onion, brown gravy.
All of this goes in.
Next add just two Tablespoons of cumin, pink salt, black pepper.
2 TBS of these
Finally you will add just two teaspoons of the red pepper flakes.
Just a wee bit o' this one.
The end result is a very lovely rub/seasoning/mix in.
Wow, look at the texture!
Place the mixture in two to three Parmesan shakers. Cut a tag from some rustic looking paper. Give it a name. Use a coffee filter before screwing on the cap. After screwing on the cap trim the filter to a more appealing length. Tie on the rustic tag with some twine. Voila!
The fully used seasonings account for four dollars. The minuscule amount of other seasonings may equal another dollar. The shakers are one dollar each. So we have seven dollars divided by two here, making each shaker 3.50. The more you make, the more value you get, as the unit cost can go down by shopping elsewhere. This is feasibly enough to fill three jars, increasing the number to eight dollars, but decreasing the cost by dividing it three ways. At two sixty-seven a jar this is a great gift for neighbors, work mates, and pastors!
