Homemade Pot Roast Seasoning
This Homemade Pot Roast Seasoning is made with simple, easy-to-find ingredients you probably already have in your pantry. This simple blend of everyday spices with no artificial flavors or preservatives will elevate your roast to the next level of delicious flavor.
Servings: 10 tablspoons (or 1/2 cup)
Equipment
- small whisk or fork
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons paprika
- 4 teaspoons light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 3 teaspoons salt
- 1½ teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1½ teaspoons dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoons dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk to combine all ingredients. Store in an airtight container until ready to use in your favorite recipes. The seasonings should last up to a year if stored properly.
- To Use: This mix is for a traditional pot roast but as I mentioned, you can use it on other cuts of meat. Use 2 tablespoons PER every pound of meat. So, for a 3 pound beef roast, you will use about 6 tablespoons of the mix.
Notes
- I like to buy spices in bulk and take a day to make or refill my homemade mixes up. Doubling or tripling the ones I use the most.
- Check the expiration date of your spices and herbs. You want to make sure you have the freshest ingredients.
- If your spices are in a clump, they are still good! You can pour the contents into a bowl and mash the lumps with a whisk or use a small food processor to blend again.
- Store the mixes in an airtight container or jar.
- Keep them in cool dary place like your pantry.
- If you like a little spice with your roasts, feel free to add ¼ cayenne pepper, or to taste.
- In place of the herbs listed, you can use Italian seasoning.
