Creole Seasoning by Emeril Lagasse

By Foodiewife

It's not necessary to buy seasoning mixes, when you can make your own. The odds are, you have all the necessary ingredients. I use this Creole seasoning blend (courtesy of Food Network) to make my own BBQ sauce, to season red beans & rice. I store this in a air tight container for weeks! This seasoning is also known as "Bayou Blast".
