Contributor: Christine Pittman

This recipe doesn’t contain salt. If you’re making homemade pepperoni, add the amount of salt listed in the recipe. If the recipe doesn’t contain salt, or if you’re adding it directly to other dishes, you should include 2 tsp. salt to the seasoning blend recipe, or add salt to taste when cooking with the seasoning.

This recipe makes enough to season 6 pounds of ground meat.
