Start by locating the following ingredients:

    1/4 kosher salt (regular if that is all you have)
    1/4 cup fresh cracked pepper - it makes a difference
    3Tbs paprika
    2 Tbs granular garlic
    1 1/2 Tbs chili powder
    1 tsp ground cumin
    1 tsp thyme - dried
    2 Tbs granular garlic
    1 tsp oregano - dried

Mix all ingredients thoroughly and apply to meat 15 minutes before cooking. How much to put on? We use it like salting the meat, but just a little heavier since the salt is diluted with the other spices. Cook meat as you would normally do and get ready for some really great make up time! Store remainder in an airtight glass container. Will last 6 months in the refrigerator - for when you mess up again!

Enjoy!
