This is a mix called House Seasoning that was used in every restaurant I ever worked in and they put it on darned near everything.
Quite by accident, I learned this mix is just one ingredient off (*cayenne) what one of the biggest BBQ joints in the nation uses on their ribs.
1/2 cup salt
1/4 garlic powder
1/4 cup fine ground black pepper
*1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon, to taste. Add more if you like.
This really compliments the meat's flavor without masking or embellishing. Just dust 'em up before you lay 'em on the rack, no need for any long advance prep.
I use this without the cayenne and my grandkids eat these ribs like they're starving.
See what you think and let me know.
