  • 2 teaspoons herb pepper
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoons dehydrated onion flakes

  • airtight jar
  • saucepan

Directions
 

  1. Put all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and stir well.
  2. Pour into a sealed airtight container.
  3. Shake or stir before every use so the fine seasonings do not sink to the bottom.
