BBQ Rub

I have been trying to find the perfect BBQ Rub for a couple of years now. This is my most recent attempt. I made it to use on the pulled pork we ate earlier this week. We liked it, but I did not use enough and it needed a bit more spice. Last night, I reheated the leftover pulled pork and added some more of the rub. Better, but not perfect. However, it is a great improvement over the last recipe that I tried which was too salty and had no spice at all. Next time, I think that I will add more cayenne and possibly some dried onion. If you have a fabulous BBQ Rub recipe that you are willing to share, I would love to test it out!

BBQ Rub

2 Tbsp. paprika

2 ¼ tsp. cayenne pepper

1 Tbsp. plus ¾ tsp. black pepper

1 ½ Tbsp. garlic powder

2 ¼ tsp. onion powder

1 ½ Tbsp. salt

1 ¾ tsp. oregano

1 ¾ tsp. thyme

Measure all ingredients into a small jar and shake to combine. Use as a seasoning on chicken, pork, or beef. 

Frugal Tip: Be sure to save your old jam jars. They are perfect for storing seasoning mixes.
