  • 1 tablespoon liquid smoke
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves

Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients in large bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly.
