A homemade version of this popular pantry staple is easy and economical to make for convenient use whenever needed.Servings: approximately 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons (or 4½ "packets")
¾cupdried minced onions (onion flakes; found in the spice aisle)
⅓cupbeef bouillon powder (see notes)
1tablespoonplus 1 teaspoon onion powder
¼teaspooncelery seeds
¼teaspoongranulated sugar
¼teaspoonfreshly ground pepper
⅛teaspoonpaprika
Instructions
Chop or grind the celery seeds to break them up a little. (I find this easiest to do with my chef's knife.)
Mix all ingredients. Some brands of bouillon may be a bit clumpy, In this case, break up the clumps.
One packet of the purchased mix equals 1 ounce or about ¼ cup of this mix. Divide into individual zipper top bags or small jars, and store in a cupboard or other cool, dark place.
Notes
I use Herb-Ox granulated beef bouillon. If needed, Herb-Ox has a sodium-free option and organic options are available.
