- ½ cup brown sugar (firmly packed)
- 2 tbsp chili powder
- 2 tbsp smoked paprika
- 2 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 2 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 2 tsp ground mustard

Instructions
- Mix the Rub: Whisk all ingredients together in a bowl until fully combined. Transfer the seasoning blend into an airtight container to keep it fresh and ready for future use.

- Rest the Meat: Allow the seasoned meat to rest in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight. This resting period lets the flavors absorb deeply into the meat.

Notes
- The dry rub can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
- Adjust salt levels according to your dietary needs.
- This seasoning works well with pork, chicken, ribs, beef, and even roasted vegetables.
- For best results, allow the meat to marinate overnight for deeper flavor.
- Use gloves or wash hands thoroughly after rubbing seasoning on meat to avoid irritation from spices.
