My New Obsession: This Smoky Garlic Paprika Seasoning Blend

 
I have a serious new addiction in my kitchen, and I just had to share it with you all. McCormick’s Smoky Garlic & Paprika Seasoning is absolutely phenomenal! At first glance, the ingredient list looks pretty straightforward — sea salt, garlic, smoked paprika, turmeric, onion, and paprika extract for color. But when you combine them, something magical happens. The deep smokiness from the paprika pairs perfectly with the bold garlic and subtle warmth from the other spices. It’s a flavor bomb that elevates everyday meals without any effort.

 I’ve only had the bottle for about a week and I’m already more than halfway through it. I’ve used it on scrambled eggs, garlic bread, chicken salad, egg salad, and right on top of juicy hamburgers. It shines on grilled meats, roasted vegetables, soups, and even avocado toast. (You may recall my mentioning it last week in the Alouette clone of Everything Bagel Cheese Spread.) 

The directions say to sprinkle generously on meats, veggies, or soups, but honestly, this versatile blend tastes incredible on almost anything. It adds that perfect smoky, garlicky kick that makes simple dishes taste restaurant-quality. 

If you’re looking for an all-purpose seasoning that actually delivers big flavor, I can’t recommend this one enough. It’s quickly become my go-to blend for almost everything I cook. Run, don’t walk, and grab a bottle, I mean it! Your taste buds will thank you!  

You can grab a bottle at a very reasonable price here.

I will definitely try that. Recently I discovered the flavored sugars they make. Interesting seasonings make hum drum food more exciting for sure.

I did notice this in your ingredients for everything and meant to look for it. I'm always up for anything with smoked paprika!

Totally agree, Pattie!
It’s my go‑to for Hungarian goulash--the smoky paprika and garlic take it to another level.

I will look for this when we are in Europe in September.
