💬 Uncle Dave says...
Petey's Version: This homemade seasoning blend is surprisingly close to the California Garlic brand, and you can adjust the salt and sugar levels to your personal taste. If you can't find dried bell pepper flakes, you can substitute with a mix of paprika and crushed red pepper for a similar effect. Store in a dark pantry for up to 6 months for best flavor.
