Sweet and Smoky BBQ Seasoning

For many years the only BBQ in my proverbial spice tool belt was North Carolina BBQ. Then it hit me that this was GREAT for pork and for making a quick sauce to wet mop with but not great for a traditional BBQ flavor. So I set out to make not one but two BBQ seasonings. One traditional and one a bit more versatile without the sugar. This is my traditional take on a BBQ seasoning! It is sweet and smoky with a hint of spicy. I love it on potatoes and chicken but have also use it on pork and cauliflower. Make a quick BBQ flavored dip or even try it in chili and pulled pork/chicken.
