Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add salt, paprika, ground black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper to your small mixing bowl. Stir the ingredients thoroughly using a whisk or fork for an even mixing and distribution of all spices. Make sure there are no clumps and the mixture has a uniform color and texture.
- Store for Use. Transfer the well-mixed seasoning into the small jar. Ensure the jar is dry before adding the seasoning to avoid clumping. Seal the jar tightly to preserve the freshness of the spices. Label the jar with the date to keep track of its shelf life.
Notes
More Tips:
Make sure you taste a small piece of cooked potato or bread before storing your blend. This way, you can decide whether to add or reduce spices according to your taste.
Remember to label your seasoning jar with the name and the date it was made. It helps you to keep track of the freshness and easily find it in your spice cabinet.
When making a larger batch, keep the ratios of the ingredients the same to maintain the flavor balance. You can gift larger batches to your friends or family who enjoy cooking.
About the Ingredients
You can try these alternatives when making your Prairie Dust Seasoning Blend:
- Salt: Use kosher or sea salt instead of table salt for a different texture.
- Paprika: Smoked paprika is a great alternative for a smoky flavor.
- Black Pepper: You can use pepper for a milder taste.
- Cayenne Pepper: If you want less heat, you can use red pepper flakes instead of cayenne pepper, or skip it altogether.
Remember that these substitutions may affect the overall taste of your seasoning blend, so it’s best to experiment with different ingredients to find the perfect blend that suits your taste buds.
We hope you enjoy making and using your own Prairie Dust Seasoning Blend. This simple recipe is perfect for elevating everyday dishes with minimal effort.

Just the right amount of spices and so favorable on everything including country fried potatoes…thank you so much!
I don’t use as much salt as the recipe calls for. Delicious!
Planning to make some of this tomorrow for the steaks I’m thawing out. Don’t store your spices and herbs too close to the stove/range because the heat breaks them down .. they do better in a cool, dark place.
I put it in a magic bullet and ground it down fine, sprinkled it liberally on some steaks, and it tastes great. No complaints from the kids either. Thanks!
so glad to hear it mike. sometimes no complaints from the kids is all we can ask for! 🤣
