I had a recipe (put on the internet in 2021) I made once last year, and could not find it. I ended up finding it, but the recipe called for Weber's store brand Garlic Jalapeno Seasoning.
You know me right? I went on a mission. First, I am not really a person to store a "mixed spice" in my pantry, other than my homemade "fire powder" for spicing up dishes when I want to.
However, they do come in handy for traveling, and especially when camping. Mixed spices also come in handy for grilling out, grilling at a picnic etc.
To see the actual ingredients in the store brand, you can simply read the label next time shopping, or find it on the internet. I have no idea what stores sell it, or if they even make it anymore, but sharing what my mission was pretaining to this seasoning.
The original seasoning contains sugar (more than the jalapeno), "spices" (no specifics on what this is), citric acid, gum arabic, rice concentrate, and "natural flavors" (huh? why?).
Salt is listed first as an ingredient. I salt and pepper myself, so I left this out, but you could add it.
Other ingredients listes are Garlic, Onion, Jalapeno Pepper, and Green Bell pepper.
I'm also sharing links to some of my older blog posts that may help if you have never dehydrated garden goods, or are interested in getting a dehydrator for this purpose.
How I make my dehydrated garlic into garlic powder

How I grind dehydrated hot peppers
Deydrating and making green bell pepper powder
Here is what I mixed:
3 Tbsp. Garlic Powder, Homemade
2 Tbsp. Onion Powder, Homemade
1-2 Tbsp. Jalapeno Powder, Homemade (the more, the more heat)
1 to 1 1/2 tsp. Green Bell Pepper Powder to your taste, or leave out
Mix and store in an air tight container.
Note:
2/3 cup dehydrated jalapenos = Approx. 2 Tbsp. Jalapeno powder
Our jalapenos are being harvested from the garden now.
If you do not grow a garden, or own a dehydrator, many Amish or bulk stores sell these ground powders, but be sure to read the label. I have seen green bell pepper powder for sale, but it is expensive.
If you are wondering about the recipe that started this all, here it is:
I am not affilated with the cook on this video. I found it by searching for new recipes to make with our home grown green beans - One Skillet Cheesy Ground Beef and Green Bean Casserole.
Note: I first made this recipe with fresh minced garlic and jalapenos, so you don't always need a special seasoning
Another time I simply used homemade onion powder, homemade garlic powder, homemade fire powder, and homeamde green bell pepper powder.
Today's post title should be "Youtube made me do it" ha ha!
