In my house, blackening seasoning is a staple. I use it ALL the time in just about anything from soups, to salad dressings, to chicken, beef and fish, to casseroles, and much more!

I used to purchase the seasoning blend, but once I started paying attention to the ingredients, I decided that I should just make my own to avoid any preservatives, anti-caking agents, and MSG. Plus, it’s a lot cheaper. I started experimenting and quickly realized how easy it is – I already had all of the ingredients that I needed on hand.
