I love making my own homemade seasonings! It’s cheaper than buying packaged seasonings at the store, you know exactly what’s going in it and you can make a big batch of it and have it on hand to add to recipes throughout the week!
A couple times I year, I head to Costco or hop on Amazon and purchase several large containers of spices to create my favorite seasoning mixes. These 7 spices are always on my list.
I use these to then mix up my Taco Seasoning, Fajita Seasoning, Ranch Seasoning Mix and this French Onion Dip Mix.
I keep them in mason jars in the pantry so they’re ready to use in recipes anytime!
This French Onion Dip Mix is our go-to seasoning for making French Onion Dip on game day! It’s a copycat version of the Lipton’s mix that you’ll find at the grocery store, but I guarantee you that this homemade version of the soup mix is so much better!
Ingredients
This french onion mix is a combination of garlic powder, onion powder, minced onion, beef bouillon, salt and black pepper. The recipe provided comes out to just over one ounce, which is the equivalent to one envelope of French Onion Soup and Dip Mix at the grocery store.
I usually make the recipe x 10 to have on hand. For that, you’ll want to mix up:
- 10 tablespoons dried minced onions
- 5 tablespoons granulated beef bouillon
- 10 teaspoons onion powder
- 10 teaspoons garlic powder
- 5 teaspoons salt
- 2½ teaspoons black pepper
Two tablespoons = one ounce, so if a recipe calls for one envelope of French Onion Mix, you’ll want to add two tablespoons of the homemade recipe.
For the garlic powder and onion powder, you can also use granulated garlic or onion. The only difference between granulated onion or garlic, and onion or garlic powder, is that the powder has been ground finer, than the granulated onion or garlic. I prefer to use granulated onion and garlic because it’s less likely to clump over time, than the powder versions.
How to make it
- Combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl.
- Store in an airtight container in the pantry for up to 6 months.
Easy as that, in 5 minutes or less, you have a delicious French Onion Dip mix, ready to make dips, soups, chicken and more!
Pro tips
- If using the spice mix to season meat, like chicken or pork chops,I recommend using 1 tablespoon of seasoning per pound of meat.
- The French onion dip mix will stay good, stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, like the pantry, for up to 6 months.After that the spice blend will not “go bad” but as dried herbs and spices sit longer, they begin to lose their flavor.
- I recommend storing the seasoning mix in an8 ounce mason jar.If doubling the recipe, use a pint size or 16 ounce mason jar. I recommend labeling the French onion dip mix with a date and using the seasoning mix within 6 months.
- To make this seasoning mix gluten free, check the label on the beef bouillon used in the recipe. Knorr Beef Granulated Bouillon containsAutolyzed Yeast Extract (Barley) which means it is not gluten free. To make a gluten free mix, you can substitute Herb-Ox Beef Bouillon which is gluten free or Massel Beef Style Bouillon, which is also gluten free.
Recipes to make with it
There are a ton of different ways to use this homemade French Onion seasoning mix in the kitchen. From making dips, to seasoning soups, burgers and pasta, the possibilities are endless! Mix up a batch of the seasoning and try all of these different ways to use it.

If I only have bouillon cubes, can I just crush those to make it granulated?

I made up a pint of this and store it in a glass jar and sprinkle it on several things, great on veggies and chicken.
