Copycat Longhorn Steakhouse Prairie Dust Mix

This is a copycat of the Prairie Dust spice mix the Longhorn Steakhouse uses in many of its dishes. It has a nice complex flavor with a little heat, and is perfect on steak, chicken, eggs, seafood, veggies, and baked potatoes. It’s a great seasoning to keep on hand. Just make a good-sized batch and keep it in an air-tight container. Oh, and don’t hesitate to sprinkle it on burgers just before you grill them! Like I said, it’s great on everything!

Copycat Longhorn Steakhouse Wild West Shrimp

The recipe for copycat Longhorn Steakhouse Prairie Dust mix makes just a few tablespoons of mix. I usually make a much bigger batch and keep it in the pantry in an air-tight container. I write the date on the container (using a marker and blue painter’s tape) so I know when I made it. Spice mixes can usually last at least 6 months. Not that it’ll actually last that long…

Pizza Sauce

Sometimes I get home from work and just want to make a quick pizza. No handmade dough. No unusual toppings. Just a heat-and-eat store-bought crust, topped with a fantastic homemade sauce and a few easy ingredients. Such as Italian sausage, mushrooms, olives, and cheese. And it comes out great, thanks mostly to the sauce. If you don’t have a great sauce, the rest of the pizza won’t be any good. No matter how great the toppings are.

The Perfect Sauce To Keep On Hand

I double this pizza sauce recipe and freeze it. I separate it into batches. That makes it easy to defrost in the fridge in time to make a 15 minute dinner.

Smoked Provolone Cheese Sauce

This smoked provolone sauce adds great flavor (and texture) to any recipe you need a cheese sauce. I love it over pulled pork since it has a nice smoky flavor, but not so overbearing that you can’t taste the meat. I made a big batch and squirted it over pulled pork tater tot nachos (below) and stromboli, but you’ll also love it over grilled burgers or chicken sandwiches, or the best, Italian sausage sandwiches.

Smoked provolone can sometimes be difficult to find. Regular provolone works just fine in this cheese sauce. If you’re hankerin’ for that smokiness, you can cold smoke the cheese if you have a smoker.

Pulled Pork Tater Tot Nachos

The Multi-Purpose Cheese Sauce

This smoked provolone cheese sauce would also be great as a dip. You could add a few chopped green chiles. Or even mix in some Rotel tomatoes, adding a little heat.

This sauce is great over ‘normal’ nachos too. You know, the ones made with tortilla chips!

Fire-Eater Rub and Seasoning

Fire-eater rub and seasoning is by far my favorite kicked-up rub and all-purpose seasoning. It has the wonderful flavor of celery seed. I am a little heavy-handed with the celery seed. Don’t be afraid to cut back on it a bit. Especially if you’re not quite the celery seed enthusiast that I am.

This seasoning has a fantastic bit of heat. A good amount of heat actually. Hence the name.

I’ve used this rub/seasoning on everything from wings to chicken breasts to corn, to soup, to a kickin’ sauce for burgers, and even prime rib.

Roasted Poblano Cream Sauce

This roasted poblano cream sauce is the perfect somewhat-spicy sauce for topping grilled chicken sandwiches. It’s also fantastic on burgers, pork, or used as a dip. It actually would work as a soup too. Want a little extra kick? Roast a jalapeno with the poblano and add it to the sauce when you blend it.

Grilled Chicken Fajita Sandwich

Perfect On Chicken

My first use for this roasted poblano cream sauce was over grilled chicken fajita sandwiches. It adds a wonderful southwestern flavor and creaminess to any dish that it’s used on. Feel free to use any pepper you wish if poblanos aren’t your thing. I like them since they aren’t too spicy but also have more flavor than bell peppers.

Montreal Steak Seasoning

Also known as Canadian steak seasoning, this Montreal steak seasoning mix is perfect on burgers, steaks or potatoes. Or on my favorite, smoked habanero meatloaf. This is a great mix to keep on hand in the pantry at all times.

Smoked Habanero Meatloaf Version 2.0

Make It Coarse. Or Fine.

The original recipe for Montreal steak seasoning (as stated below) does call for quite a bit of salt. I suggest starting with half the suggested amount and tasting as you add more, if you need it. I was using the mix in a meatloaf. I wanted it to be a little finer than if it was just mixed up. So I did a few quick grinds with a mortar and pestle. That got rid of any large pieces of spices.

Fajita Seasoning Mix

We love our taco seasoning mix. It has a great spicy flavor that is perfect with ground beef for tacos. For fajitas we use this mix. Fajita seasoning mix doesn’t just have to be used on fajitas. We enjoy it mixed in (about a tablespoons worth) with sautéed bell peppers and sweet onions (one each medium green and red bell peppers and a medium sweet onion). The combination makes for the perfect burgers and hot dogs topping.

Fajita Seasoning Mix

Use This Everywhere

You can also sprinkle a bit of this fajita seasoning mix on hot dogs, grill them, and serve them on buns topped with the fajita-seasoned veggies. Add a little cheese too. We chopped the peppers and onion for the hot dogs. More fajita seasoning is a good thing.

We seasoned a few home-ground beef patties with the mix, grilled them, then served them topped with the veggies, which were sliced.

Homemade Boursin-Style Cheese

You don’t need to buy the expensive version of this great cheese. You can make homemade Boursin-style cheese with items you probably already have on hand. It really tastes just like the stuff in the store. And because it’s a whole heck of a lot cheaper to make you can use more of it! I always felt guilty eating the fru-fru stuff. I had to stretch it out. Not this. I can load up and not feel like I’m going broke!

Grilled Polenta with Homemade Boursin-Style Cheese

Not Just For Crackers

This homemade Boursin-style cheese is perfect on crackers, baked potatoes, apple slices, steak, burgers and grilled corn-on-the-cob! And absolutely yummy spooned on top of grilled polenta disks.

I think the fact that this is a cheaper version of the store-bought cheese opens up new opportunities for using it. Now I don’t hesitate to smear it on everything!

Cajun Dip and Salad Dressing

This Cajun dip and salad dressing goes great over a salad. It is also fantastic as a dip for everything from veggies to onion rings, to chicken nuggets. Adjust the Cajun seasoning, to taste. I’d use a bit less Cajun seasoning when making a salad dressing and a bit more when making a dip. The end result will taste better if you use a homemade Cajun seasoning mix or a store-bought one that has less salt.

Pantry Pizza Sauce

This isn’t a big-to-do, fru-fru, fancy pizza sauce. It doesn’t have wine or fresh basil or whatever. It isn’t like our favorite homemade sauce that takes a little effort (and a lot more ingredients) to throw together. Everything that goes in it is probably already in your pantry… hence the name, pantry pizza sauce.

Southwest Grilled Chicken French Bread Pizza

Easy And Delicious

What this pantry pizza sauce is is easy, fast, and tasty. It’s perfect for when you just want to throw together a quick pizza. And that’s exactly what I did. But don’t let things like ‘fast’ and ‘easy’ throw you. This sauce is packed with flavor. It’s not overly sweet. It’s not overly herby. It has the perfect balance of flavors.

This sauce is also great as a dipping sauce for breadsticks.
