Roundy's Select Backyard Barbeque Seasoning Blend
What it is
This is a dry seasoning blend designed to impart a smoky, sweet, and savory barbeque flavor to foods. It typically contains a mix of spices such as paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder, along with salt and pepper. The combination aims to replicate the taste of classic barbeque sauces and rubs, offering a convenient way to add depth and complexity to dishes without using liquid ingredients.
How people cook with it
This versatile seasoning is excellent for adding a barbeque flair to a variety of meals.
- Rubbed onto meats before grilling
- Sprinkled over roasted vegetables
- Mixed into dips and sauces
- Seasoning for burgers and sausages
To use this barbeque seasoning blend, generously apply it as a dry rub to meats like chicken, pork, or beef before cooking. For grilling, ensure an even coating so the spices adhere well during the cooking process. It can also be stirred into marinades or used to season vegetables before roasting or baking. For an extra flavor boost, mix it into mayonnaise, sour cream, or yogurt to create a quick barbeque-flavored dip or spread. It's also a great addition when forming burger patties or seasoning sausages.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike liquid barbeque sauces, this dry blend offers a more concentrated flavor and a less messy application. It allows for better control over the final texture of the dish, as it doesn't add moisture. The spice profile can also be more pronounced compared to some pre-made sauces.

How to keep the rest
Store the seasoning blend in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat, to maintain its freshness and potency. Ensure the container is tightly sealed after each use to prevent moisture from entering and clumping the spices. Proper storage will help preserve the aromatic qualities of the blend.
