Copycat Lawry's Recipe

Ok so we grew up on this bottled seasoned salt. It was on the table instead of it's white counterpart and it went into everything our mom made for dinner too. We thought this was totally normal but as we got older we realized it was less common than we had imagined.

Not because it isn't loved by millions but we think it is not thought of as often as we did growing up. Let us tell you ALL the things this is great in and how to make it yourself if you're a huge lover like we are.

We mean what is this not good on?? No idea, we use it on and in all the things we make. It makes it easier since all of the greatness is already mixed together and you don't have to get 7 different bottles out when you're cooking. Seriously, you can transform something plain to good, with this on top.

There are 7 ingredients you will need. It is highly likely you have them all in your spice cabinet already, but didn't know how much of each was needed. this is all you need to get started. If you don't have a whisk a fork will do fine too. It is seriously that easy y'all.

What is Lawrys Seasoned Salt Made of?

NO longer will you need to buy the store bought version. whisk all of this together in a small bowl. The paprika, turmeric, onion powder, salt and sugar will become that iconic color you know best. Best spice blend if you ask us that is a gluten free blend of herbs and spices. No need for a spice grinder as it is smooth as is. You will need

Cornstarch is in it believe it or not
Regular salt is needed
White sugar gives it a tinge of sweetness
Paprika offers a bit of a pop
Garlic powder is a must
Onion Powder too
Turmeric may be something you need to order
- some swear by adding 1/8 tsp of celery salt too but we typically don't

Keeping leftovers

This batch will make 1/3 of a cup. If you want to double or triple you definitely could and store it in these spice jars for later use. They come with chalkboard stickers so you can label what is in each and the date you packed them up. It will last a good year or 2 before the flavors start to break down and aren't as potent.

How to Make Lawrys

THAT is how to make this homemade seasoning salt that will likely replace the table salt you use now. Now, how long will this last? We mean it's like any other sort of seasoning, it's like years. We would suggest you do mark on the outside of the bottle you store it in what it is. Then add the date it was bottled so you can keep track.

What to use if you don't have seasoned salt?

We have a homemade blend here that is a copycat Lawrys favorite with salt, sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and turmeric that is a close second. Old Bay seasoning can also be used as a seasoned salt substitute in savory recipes, especially for seafood too.

How long does Lawry's seasoning last?

You are good for a good 1, almost 2 years in a tightly sealed container before the flavors will start to wane and not be as good. There isn't anything in it that will necessarily spoil so you don't need to worry about that but it won't be as flavorful over time.

Once you have it all done you can go crazy with it and make all sorts of things like our Instant Pot frozen pork butt. This shreds nicely, is fork tender in no time and makes for a healthy and cheap dinner idea. Packed with flavor we love it served on small slider buns. Any leftovers can be reheated with some of this sprinkled on the top.
