There's no doubt that celebrity chef Paula Deen knows her way around the kitchen. We'd be quick to take any cooking advice she might have to offer — including how to season our food. But one of her signature goods recently caught our eye because it seems pretty overpriced.
If you've ever watched Paula in action on TV or followed one of her recipes, you may have noticed she frequently uses her trademark "house seasoning." Fans looking to mimic her signature flavor can even purchase the spice online at Paula Deen's General Store. We have no doubt this ingredient makes a delicious addition to any recipe, but we're also wondering why a mixture of salt, pepper, and garlic powder costs $15 for two 6.7-ounce bottles. Yes, you read that correctly. She's charging FIFTEEN dollars for a combination of arguably the three most basic spices out there.
In any case, it's currently out of stock, but you can rest assured that it's super easy to recreate Paula's secret seasoning at home (and you may not even have to visit the grocery store, assuming you already have salt, pepper, and garlic in your pantry). Here are the exact measurements:
- 1 cup salt
- 1/4 cup black pepper
- 1/4 cup garlic powder
Ta da! You just saved 15 bucks.
