The Best Homemade Dry Rub

I just made a batch of this today and remembered that I have had several friends request the recipe, so here it is! This is a super easy rub to make and can be used to season just about anything like chicken, burgers, steaks, a pork butt to make pulled pork or baby back ribs, which is what we're having tonight! Try it and let me know what you think! Enjoy!

The Best Homemade Dry Rub

What You'll Need:

• 2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
• 1 1/2 Tablespoons Salt
• 1 1/2 Tablespoons Black Pepper
• 1 Tablespoon Chili Powder
• 2 teaspoons Garlic Powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Mustard Powder
• 1 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper (optional)

Directions:

Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and mix well.

Generously rub mixture all over whatever meat you're going to cook. You could even let it sit overnight in an airtight container in the refrigerator to really allow the flavors to soak into the meat. 

If you want, you may store any unused rub in an airtight container.
