Kansas City Style Rib Rub

I started last year making a lot of my own seasoning mixes. There is just too much sodium in the mixes you buy at the store. A lot of these recipes came from 101budget.com, If you haven't checked out her site you have to, there is so much there.
The first one I am post thou is from Food Network. I love this seasoning mix, it's great on chicken, steak and makes the most awesome pulled pork.
You will need to try this, it's so great. I don't add all the salt that is required.
