"There's a big shaker of Magic Dust next to the salt and pepper in my own kitchen and at all my restaurants," barbecue legend Mike Mills says. "I wish I could figure out a way to attach the bottle to the restaurant tables because at my restaurants, it's the most frequently stolen item!"

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup paprika

  • I used 1/4 cup smoked paprika & 1/4 cup regular paprika

• 1/4 cup Kosher salt (finely ground)

• 1/4 cup sugar

• 2 tablespoons mustard powder

• 1/4 cup chili powder

• 1/4 cup ground cumin

• 2 tablespoons ground black pepper

• 1/4 cup granulated garlic

• 2 tablespoons cayenne

Directions

1. Gather the ingredients.

2. Mix all ingredients together and store in a tightly covered container.

3. Use with your choice of beef, chicken, pork, fish, seafood, or vegetables, and enjoy.

Tips:

• Store in a covered jar or air tight plastic container for up to 1 year after preparation​.
• Keep some in a shaker next to the grill or stove for easy use. 
• In addition to seasoning food at the table, this mixture can be used as a dry rub on beef, chicken, pork, fish, seafood, and vegetables.
• To make it a little more hot and spicy, increase the mustard powder and black pepper to 1/4 cup each.
