Want to add a QUICK kick to your meals? Well, this DIY for Hand Blended Devil’s Dust is GUARANTEED to help SPICE up your meats! It’s the perfect blend for Summer BBQs and all-around grilling! Add as little or as much as you fancy to HEAT your BBQ!
Have you ever stopped to think of how MUCH you pay for Blended Grilling Spices? I sure have! About a year ago, I was on a QUEST to save a few pennies here and there. I stopped to think of what Household items or even Grocery items I might rally to save money on.
One of the things I found as I was making my list of cutbacks happened to be Blended Spices. How RIDICULOUS the amount was. I had to ask, “WHY am I spending this on something I could DIY??”
So thus began the Saga of my Hand Blending. It’s so SIMPLE and EASY to do. I can make batches as I see fit, as LARGE or SMALL as I like.
Hand Blended Devil’s Dust
- ½ cups Hungarian Paprika
- ¼ cups Chili Powder
- 4 Tablespoons Sugar
- 3 Tablespoons Sea Salt
- 2 Tablespoon Ground Black Pepper
- 2 Tablespoons Ground Coriander
- 2 Tablespoons Ground Mustard
- 2 Tablespoons Curry Powder
- 2 Tablespoons Garlic Powder
- 2 Tablespoons Onion Powder
- 1 Tablespoon Mesquite Spice
- 1 Tablespoon Cumin
- 1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Cayenne Pepper flakes
- 1 Tablespoon Basil
- ½ Tablespoon Thyme
- ½ Tablespoon Oregano
- 1 Tablespoon Cayenne powder
Method
1. Combine all the ingredients
2. Place in an airtight container
3. Store in a cool, dry place
Dust meat before placing in oven, grilling, or cooking to taste
Notes
This fabulous DIY will store very well in a cool, dry place. If you would like to increase the batch but are concerned with storage time, place it in a tightly sealed ziplock bag and place it in the freezer. It will store for several months. Take out small amounts as needed.
