We used store bought French onion soup mix so often it was time to make it myself at home, and share with y'all too. You know that packet typically thought of for dip but many does it have so many uses well beyond that. Make it in bulk so you have it on hand for all the things now.

We add one packet of this every time we make our Ninja Foodi meatloaf or meatballs in air fryer which is pretty darn often. This is great because sometimes we want to add a bit more but don't want to open a second package. 5 dry ingredients makes up this mix so it's easier than you might think.

We did the same thing with our favorite steak dry rub. Made 10x one day and poured it into a mason jar to store. Saved us a lot of time prepping thereafter and there was no measuring involved. use as much as you want and store the rest, done! Want exactly the same as in 1 packet? No problem, we have the measurement for that too.

This brings it even a step further since it is homemade. Even cheaper than that and no waste either since it will be saved in a reusable container.

How long does homemade onion soup mix last?

That is where the packaging comes into play. As long as you store it in a well sealed container or even a smaller freezer bag with the air sucked out it will stay good for up to 2 years! If you love batch cooking and/or making things like our slow cooker beef stew with onion soup mix a lot, this is for you for sure.

You can make all of our dry seasonings and mixes in an hour or so. Have the containers or jars ready to be packaged up. Mark on the top the date you made each one. Label the front as to what it is and for years after that it will save you a ton of time measuring and you will always know your cupboard is stocked with it.

If you are concerned that you'll need exactly the same amount as you would get in one packet, then measure it. Then store in snack baggies instead. 3 Tbsp. should go into each one if you want to measure it out and store that way. That is easy enough to remember and you can save bags by writing a note about this on the jar.

Whole reason to do this would be to save money and to save all that excess packaging. All those bags are not necessary and ends up in a landfill so Tupperware works better because you can wash it when you need to make another batch of it.
