Are you a spicy food lover? Do you live for hot, spicy dishes that clear out your sinuses and leave tears streaming down your cheeks? Not me! Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE flavourful food and sometimes that includes a bit of spice. I enjoy the occasional spicy dish but if the level of spiciness overwhelms the actual flavour of the recipe then it’s not for me. Which is why I’m so happy to be sharing this Easy Homemade Cajun Seasoning Blend with you today!!

This Easy Homemade Cajun Seasoning Blend is so easy to make at home, in just one bowl or even a jar, and it’s made from basic pantry ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen. And the best thing about this recipe, in my opinion, is how easy it is to control the heat. I cook for our whole family, including our two young kids who can’t handle much heat at all, so when I make spice blends I just can’t make it too spicy or nobody in our house will eat it!

This Easy Homemade Cajun Seasoning Blend includes several simple spices, when paired together create a delicious, ultra-smoky barbecue flavour with just a little bit of heat. And before you come at me with comments about how my Easy Homemade Cajun Seasoning Blend is inauthentic, I know it is. Unfortunately, I love the flavour of Cajun seasoning but can’t handle the heat so this is our family’s version of a more traditional Cajun seasoning. If you hate the heat as much as I do, you might like this recipe too!
