Dave's Meat Rub

I use "parts" below so that you can make whatever amount you want. If a part is a teaspoon, you'll get a little more than a cup (yield ~52 teaspoons and a cup is 48 teaspoons). If a part is a ½ teaspoon, you'll get a little more than half a cup.
Prep Time10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 12 parts salt
  • 4 parts black pepper
  • 10 parts chili powder (your heat level)
  • 8 parts garlic powder
  • 4 parts granulated onion (see notes)
  • 2 parts ground cumin
  • 2 parts cayenne (your call)
  • 4 parts dried oregano
  • 4 parts Spanish paprika
  • 1 part celery salt
  • 1 part citric acid

Instructions

  • Mix together.
  • Rub on meat 1-12 hours before cooking.
  • Store remainder in a sealed container.

Notes

  • I've noticed a trend lately of there being powdered onion that's like talcum powder, not granulated like garlic powder.  If using onion powder, use way less.
