Barbecue Spice Blend
This Barbecue Spice Blend is a smoky, savory, slightly sweet seasoning mix that adds classic BBQ flavor without needing a long list of ingredients. Brown sugar brings a touch of sweetness, smoked paprika adds deep wood-fired flavor, and the garlic, onion, chili powder, cumin, and pepper round it out with warm, balanced spice. Use it as a dry rub for pork, chicken, beef, ribs, burgers, vegetables, or anything that could use a quick BBQ boost.
