Homemade Seasoning Salt~Lawry's Copycat~Homemade Seasoning Blend~Noreen's Kitchen

Today I am sharing my homemade version of everyone's favorite, seasoning salt! You know the one with the red label that we all had on the spice rack growing up and probably have sitting on the back of our stove right now? Me included! Well let's change it up and make our own using things that we have on hand. I guarantee this one will taste better and it will help you use up spices you have sitting on your pantry shelf. This will help you to be sure it gets used because this stuff is delicious on everything from a grilled chicken breast, to season soups, stews and sauces and don't forget crunchy cereal snack mix which you cannot make without seasoning salt! You will find yourself reaching for this versatile blend time and time again!
Look at the ingredients on a bottle of commercial seasoning salt. For the most part you have what you need to make this. Salt, sugar, paprika, turmeric, garlic, etc. Then we get into the ingredients that stop clumping. These ingredients can actually be harmful to the body and can act as blockers to nutrition absorption. Then we get to the very end where it says "other spices" or just "spices". Then we are left to our own devices to figure out what those are. If you have a great palate, this should be easy, however, not always. There can also be corn starch, soybean oil and other questionable ingredients tossed in there for good measure. I think we can do better!
My blend is pure. It contains all the spices listed on the jar, and some that are not because I know I can taste them in there. I have started with 1/4 cup of fine salt. I have used canning salt. You can use table salt if you like. There is a bit of sugar as well and you can leave that out if you like, but it really does add to the overall blend. Then I have added paprika, chili powder, garlic and onion powders as well as turmeric, and ground celery seed. The celery seed is part of the "other spices" that they like to list. I think it adds a very distinct flavor that would be missing if it were not included here.
If you don't like something I have added or if you just don't have it, leave it out. If you like something different, add it in. I would recommend, however that anything you add be ground fine. This will help everything blend together better.
I have stored mine in a jelly jar with a tight fitting lid. This will last me about six months and then I can make more. You can store this in an airtight container in a cool, dark dry place for up to six months.
I hope you try making this homemade seasoning salt for yourself and I hope you love it!
Happy Eating!

I am so glad to be helpful. I am sorry for your loss. Working through that pain can be hard but know that it will happen. Praying for you and your family. Thank you for the comment!

Making this tomorrow! Thankyou so much. Quick update from me in 2023! Been using your recipe for quite a while now and it is perfect! So so good 😄

[@kimhurtle2463]

Just in the middle of making Chex Mix and I don't want to use a salty seasoning. Your recipe is adaptable to this heart patient and makes more sense than any of them out here. Thank you from Helena, Montana

[@MountainMama1000]

I just love your seasoning blend videos! I've been making my own seasoning blends for years and it's good to know others do too.

[@iamgroot_x5288]

In the UK we have something called Aromat, also has a red cap and it has the same ingredients that you have displayed but without the added nasties. This looks a lot better :) Also adding this to chicken whilst frying it makes chicken taste INCREDIBLE ! We also put it on our taco meat :)

[@PKC2020]

Absolutely love your intro! Reminds me of the 60's 😊. Thanks for sharing your "secrets" !! The season salt came out perfect. I've used "The Red Cap" for 20+ years.

[@michelleevans5531]

This will make great Christmas gifts. Thinking of making a variety of your seasonings. Our nephew and his wife love the Southwestern blend I made last year😊

[@lynnlast9272]

I like the practicality of your cooking and have used quite a bit of it. This is another one. Thank you

[@MyBlindMamasMessyKitchen]

noreen, I love your channel so much and I cannot wait to make my own seasoning salt. I have been binge watching your videos today with my daughter who is eight years old and loves to cook with me. Also, my husband loves your husband's way of thinking… Beer powder and bacon powder… Yes! can't wait to watch your next video.

[@gailreese4699]

Lawyre's season salt is almost the only thing I use . Thanks I sure am going to try it.

[@TheMtggrl]

Thanks for the blend idea, I would cut the salt for BP reasons and maybe add some rosemary. YUM ... TFS

[@bronwynp7261]

Hello Noreen and Rick!!! I had to message you and tell you that you are AMAZING!! Thank you for all of the tried and healthy recipes with the occasional naughty recipe too. I use your pizza dough recipe for everything dough related. It's an absolute favorite of mine and my husband. Thank you...thank you for all your inspiration! Blessings.

[@beckydebassige9355]

Thanks Noreen! I only recently discovered your channel. This blend makes burgers to die for and whole heck of many other dishes taste amazing. Love your channel! Keep the recipes coming girl! 💓

[@rebeccakight165]

Your videos are my favorite thing to watch on KZbin. Thanks for sharing all your ingenious tips.

[@pamjones6465]

If I can make it I am in. It's a winner! I will not be buying store bought ever again. Thank you sharing the goodness. :)

[@carlenevasseur]

My Granddaughter is visiting me & ask for the Chex Mix & I had everything but the seasoned salt. I had all the ings. to make the salt. Thanks for sharing & saving the day. Blessings.

[@LindasPantry]

I am so excited to see your version because I don't care for the store bought! Thank you. Linda :)👐

[@CrownJewelDanes12]

So glad you did this one. I watch your videos ALL the time. Whenever I make something new my husband asks if I learned it from you or Mrs V and 99% of the time its a yes lol. Will you put up a printable version of this one. I've started a "cookbook" of sorts with different recipes and love when I can print them and stick them right in. Thanks so much and please don't ever stop making videos lol.

Thank you sweetheart for the comment, I was wondering if I should or shouldn't. Problem solved, greatly appreciated💖

Thanks for sharing! I use seasoning salt in a lot of my meat and potatoes. Will definitely start making my own! 😊

[@MiaCulpa]

This one is going straight to my pinterest board! Thanks Noreen!!

[@FlyBoiQ1]

I'm definitely going to try this

[@divacute9369]

Hi Noreen. I just found your site. Love it.. I used to live in the US for 10 years and now that I am back in malaysia.. some things I cant find such as Old Bay seasoning. Hope you have found the right combination for that seasoning. .. Subscribed.

[@DivaBarbara1]

Yay! I've been hoping you'd do this seasoning blend.

[@suleimanlee758]

Love different tastes

[@TessCooks4u]

Noreen, I love Sam's chicken and they use Lawry's seasoning in there marinade and seasoning. l love this. Going to try and will let you know. Tess :)

[@janeholt53]

Do you have the recipe available? I love seasoning salt on a lot of foods. I even use it on fried potatoes and etc.

[@nataliel.5098]

What kind of chilli powder did you use? Thank you for sharing. Looks delicious! 🙂

[@noreenskitchenchannel]

Just regular chili powder from Sam’s club. Nothing special

[@nataliel.5098]

@@noreenskitchenchannel hmm there’s so many different varieties and brands. Plus I don’t go to sams club. I’ll have to do some more research. Thanks for sharing. 🙂

[@noreenskitchenchannel]

It’s just plain chili powder. Go to your local grocery or Walmart and buy chili powder. It will work fine. No need to over think.

[@nataliel.5098]

@@noreenskitchenchannel ok thanks 🙂

[@mindbodyandsoul.myjourneyt9797]

Thank you for sharing,, I love seasoned salt but I like to do my own seasonings so I can control what is in them!

[@bmwpcr]

looks so good going to try this.

[@wolfman011000]

Chilli powder in the USA is abit different that in the UK it is a blend of chilli powder and various other spices such as cumin NOT pure chilli powder. And yes in the past i made that error, it made the "american chilli" inedible. This is an excellent recipe, I make the base recipe [ with a diy american chilli powder recipe] as my goto AP seasoning, from there i experimented making afew different versions to suit different flavour profiles. Thank you for the video, take care, God bless one and all.

[@noreenskitchenchannel]

The chili powder I use only has a blend of different dried and ground chilis in it. It does not contain cumin or any other spices. Just ground chilis. Chili seasoning has a blend of many spices, including cumin, garlic, onion, etc.

[@CrayolaCrack]

I have taken old seasonings and just threw ALL of them together in a small jar. Be suprised at how well random mixtures taste. It like SUPRISE! Lol

[@salsatapatio]

Fantastic!! Thank you so much 😊

[@butterflyemo14]

hi noreen! i love your seasoning recipes.i will def try this. would it also be possible that you can also make and old bay seasoning recipe? :D

[@ShinKyuubi]

Thanks loads for this, I use season salt in quite a bit of my cooking and I just got a new cookbook today as is. I've been hounding the net for copycat recipes and I just recently found my best lead on Medieval Times herb potatoes they serve. According to someone who used to work in the kitchens at one, the spices they put on the potatoes aren't too different from just a bottle of this brand of season salt so a good copycat for this is great. About how long will this stuff last sealed in an airtight container?

[@MalaYLoca]

Yayyyy excited to try!!!!

[@wbanks7491]

Hi Noreen, I'm a newbie,thanks for the great video! I'm going to try your spice recipe, I love to try different seasoning when cooking. Do you have a recipe for garlic butter crab legs?

[@moawiamomin9884]

What can I substitute for celery seed ?? Cause It is very difficult to get anything related to celery in our locality or anywhere else . ♦Would caraway seeds work ??

[@noreenskitchenchannel]

No caraway is very different. Just leave it out.

[@moawiamomin9884]

@@noreenskitchenchannel Thank u very much

[@imthevictorr]

Awesome how there's a recipe so we can make our own and avoid the anti caking agents. I don't go through a lot of seasoning salt compared to garlic salt though.

[@wendyeroche5975]

Got to try this! Thanks

[@susankeyes5566]

are your celery seeds toasted and ground? Thank you so much for this recipe.

[@jeanetteyoung2350]

[@greeneyedredhead61]

How did you know how much of each spice to measure out? I can't wait to try this.

[@noreenskitchenchannel]

I guessed

[@jorgecervantes1274]

looks great I am going to tri it

[@susansmith4619]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@iamgroot_x5288]

I’m going to be printing this out and popping it in our recipe stash. Can I cut the spicy bits out? (paprika and chill ?)

[@noreenskitchenchannel]

I don't recommend leaving out either of those. They are essentially what makes this the red color of a traditional seasoned salt. Neither of them, the chili or the paprika are spicy at all. In fact, both are extremely mild. Paprika comes from sweet bell peppers and chili powder is red from peppers that are not spicy.

[@iamgroot_x5288]

Noreen's Kitchen Thankyou for your reply :) I have special needs so spicy food is just too much for me, but I thought this looked really interesting :) Had no idea about how they aren’t spicy at all lol , thankyou !! Have a lovely day

[@bbqgoodwill]

Noreen, I have watched many of your videos and now think I might know you. Did you ever live in the Williams area and is your husband Nate?

[@noreenskitchenchannel]

I did live in Williams for almost 20 years. We moved away in 2006. I used to be married to one of the Gastineau boys. But we divorced in 2002. Don't know who Nate is.

[@bbqgoodwill]

Noreen's Kitchen I used to own Tiffany's Italian Shop.

[@bbqgoodwill]

I knew the Gattineau twins who were inseparable when young but grew different ways. I was thinking I recognized you from the GC KOA with Nate Lambert but it must be from Williams just being a small town. Love your channel. I know we must have many common friends.

[@lbsmith83]

Looks yummy!!

[@wintergrace3307]

Question... I have garlic powder but it doesn’t look like yours. Mine is very while and well, powdery. Is yours granulated garlic? I could ask the same about the onion powder. Thank you!

[@noreenskitchenchannel]

Yes both my onion and garlic is granulated. I do not like the other kind

[@cn8455]

Hi! Can I use Spanish Paprika instead of Sweet Paprika? I don't know how do they differ in terms of taste. I have mccormick's.

[@noreenskitchenchannel]

We don’t use that meatloaf seasoning. Just don’t prefer it.

Would Pink Himalayan salt work the same?

[@noreenskitchenchannel]

No, it is much saltier than regular salt. If you wish to use Himalayan pink salt, please only use half the amount called for.

[@maryfilipowicz2425]

mmmmmmm

[@gailreese4699]

Just use the old season salt shaker.

[@clear123321]

Spanish paprika and sweet paprika the same??

[@noreenskitchenchannel]

Sweet paprika is not hot. Hot paprika is. Doesn't matter where it comes from. I usually prefer Hungarian paprika, but it will be labeled sweet (not hot) or hot (spicy)

[@thetownwaites118]

Of course you can just use Cerly salt instead of ground celery seed AND salt, which is what i presume Lawrys uses which makes for the lighter color.

[@noreenskitchenchannel]

Why would I add extra salt?

Sweet paprika is just not hot. It does not matter what country its from. I only use Hungarian paprika. Its comes in sweet and hot. Spanish paprika is similar.
