Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F.

Notes
Sweetpea’s Firecracker Seasoning:
-
4 ounces Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning (look for the big shaker, not the dip packet)
-
4 ounces Carolina Brewery Dry Rub (or McCormick Smokehouse Maple Seasoning)
-
2 ounces Garlic Powder
-
2 ounces Onion Powder
-
1 ounce Dried Chives
-
Optional: 2 teaspoons Red Pepper Flakes (adjust to taste)
-
Measure your ingredients. Use a kitchen scale for accuracy — especially for the bulk ranch and dry rub.
-
Combine in a large mixing bowl. Add ranch seasoning, dry rub, garlic powder, onion powder, dried chives, and red pepper flakes (if using).
-
Whisk to blend. Make sure everything is evenly distributed.
-
Transfer to an airtight jar. A 16-ounce mason jar with a tight lid works perfectly.
-
Label & store. Keep in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months.
