I recently ate at Lady & Son's in Savannah and, on the way out, picked up a jar of this seasoning at her new Paul Deen store nextdoor. Looking at the ingredients on the label, it looks like they also include granulated onion. So I put together my own mix to compare it against.
I am happy to announce that my non-gourmet palate found no discernable difference between the retail version and my own (small batch):
1/4 cup McCormick Kosher Salt
1 tbs. Watkins Black Pepper
1 tbs. Watkins Granulated Garlic
1 tbs. Watkins Granulated Onion
(if you haven't guessed, I love Watkins spices and flavors)
Interestingly enough, I haven't found Paula's "House Seasoning" recipe anywhere that lists granulated onion. Even Paula herself doesn't mention it. Soo, take this for what it's worth. But for me, I'm gonna continue to include it... 'cuz it tastes good!

I teach simple cooking to foreign students at the University here. This is one seasoning I tell them is a must!!!
I have the jar sitting on my turn table at all times. To my mixture I also add 2 T good quality Sweet Paprika from
Penzeys.com

I keep this stuff on hand! It is good on just about everything; eggs, baked potatoes, any meat, veggies, especially when you just want simple seasoning. It does not overpower flavors, just enhances them! Good stuff!

This is some tasty stuff y'all!!! I added sone onion powder and ground celery seed as some other reviewers did. I think it really adds some depth to this blend. I have used it on pan fried pork chops, burgers, sprinkle on baked potatoes and veg. I cannot wait to add some of it to egg salad the next time I make it...what a kick that will add! I also used Penzeys flaked kosher salt for a finer texture and just love it. I will have this blend constantly on hand. Thanks for sharing!

I love the combo. I did change the salt to equal parts of pepper, garlic and salt. I used it like a dry rub on 'tri tip' roast before grilling! Great!!

This is so much better than the standard salt and pepper. I have been using this for about 6 months now and it pretty much goes in anything that calls for salt and pepper. It is great on potatoes, corn on the cob, and makes a standard steak for the grill wonderful. Next time I make try using table salt just so it comes out of a regular salt shaker.
