Ways to Use Creole Seasoning.
I put that stuff on just about everything, it’s right up there with nooch in my book! Here’s a few of my favorite ways to use Creole seasoning…
- Sprinkle on cottage cheese
- Add to soups and stews
- Wonderful sprinkled on cheese for grilled cheese or quesadillas

- Awesome on eggs – fried, scrambled, omeletted, you name it
- Add some to a cup of hot, nourishing bone broth
- Kick it up a notch and add it to your tacos
- How about a spicy meatloaf?
- Of course, no chili would be right without some spice – add Creole seasoning along with your homemade chili powder
- Make a spicy cream topping by mixing Creole seasoning into either sour cream or Greek yogurt. Slather it on tacos, chicken, quesadillas, eggs…

Normally I repurpose glass jars to store my spice blends in, or use mason jars. But if I wasn’t so thrifty I’d probably want something like this. I’ve got a growing collection of homemade spice blends. I love making my own!
