I can understand that. I have a hard enough time finding something the three of us like. :)
Which of the Mrs. Dash seasoning do you like the best? I always double the batch of 3 grain. I was trying to think if I’ve ever tried it with beef broth instead of the chicken and I just can’t recall.
I used the Original blend in your recipe for the Three Grain Pilaf for my family a few days ago.
I actually use several of the Mrs. Dash blends. My mother and mother in law were supposed to watch their salt intake, so I started making a lot more things using Mrs. Dash and reducing or eliminating the salt in the dish.
The two I use most often and always have in my spice cabinet are the Original flavor and the Spicy blend, but I also have used other Mrs. Dash blends. I haven’t found one yet that I didn’t like. I try to pick it up when it is on sale (which isn’t very often) and stock up a bit when it is on sale.
I also have mixed up my own spice blends similar to Mrs. Dash, so I could save a few pennies. When I find a spice blend I like I sometimes try to mimic it myself. It is sometimes a great way to use up spices that have been sitting in your cupboard a while that you want to use up more quickly.
I believe it would be just as good made with the beef broth, but you might want to add a little more spice (but not the salt) to it since beef broth generally has a little stronger flavor. I frequently increase the spices just a little when I switch out beef broth for chicken broth.
For example if I would normally use a teaspoon of a spice blend, I would probably increase it by 1/4 teaspoon if I use beef broth, so the flavors of my spices aren’t overpowered by the stronger flavor of the beef broth.
