Wake up your dishes with a sprinkling of Crazy Salt! Use this seasoning blend on meats, vegetables, sauces, popcorn, eggs, and more.
I can not stop grinning over this Crazy Salt spice mix. Why did it take me so long to make my own version of Jane’s Krazy Mixed Up Salt blend?
No more searching the stores, no more buying the pre-mixed spices; this blend smells fresher and I like it even more than the original!
Crazy Salt
I’m in heaven with this copycat recipe for Jane’s Krazy Mixed Up Salt and I’m happily sprinkling it on everything.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a container of that seasoning blend in my spice cabinet. I think my mom used to shake it over popcorn when we were growing up.
You can use Crazy Salt anywhere you might want a sprinkling of salt, but it is especially amazing on eggs. Eggs just aren’t eggs in my house without the Crazy Salt.
Green Chile and Sausage Scrambled Eggs, Power Eggs, Smoked Salmon Scrambled Eggs, and even Hard Boiled Eggs are made better with a sprinkling of Crazy Salt.
Jane’s Krazy Mixed Up Salt Ingredients
The ingredient list is simple, likely ingredients that you already have in the pantry.
You can pulse all the spices in a blender for a finer more uniform blend of spices or simply stir them together in a jar.
When ready to use this spice mix, I tend to measure the spices in finger pinches, the same way I use kosher salt, so the jar method works great for me. Just shake the jar if the spices begin to separate.
- kosher salt
- granulated garlic
- fresh ground black pepper
- granulated onion
- celery salt
- cayenne pepper
- finely crushed sage
I use these seasonings on Pan Fried Chicken, Crispy Oven Chicken, Roasted Vegetables, Sauteed Vegetables, Popcorn, Roasted Potatoes, Pasta Salad, and Potato Salad.
If I cook it or enjoy eating it, it probably gets a sprinkling of crazy salt sometimes or another.

I'm ridiculously excited about this! I remember my husband introducing Jane's Crazy Mixed Up Salt to me… and we've had the good fortune to find Jane's Crazy Mixed Up potato chips, too. If you ever see them, grab a billion bags!
Thanks for the recipe, Mary. I look forward to using it, but I'm wondering if you used granulated garlic or garlic powder. It seems that there is a difference between the two.
Thanks,
Jaylene
Good catch, Jaylene. I used granulated garlic and granulated onion in this recipe!
I love the sound of this mix. And I love that little spoon too.
Mixed it up, sprinkled it on boneless pork chops and grilled. Very good. Looking forward to using it on all kinds of things.
Made this tonight. Going to try it on my eggs first thing!
what is the difference between granulated garlic and garlic powder?? are they pretty interchangeable and will it effect the flavor much
The only difference between the two is that granulated garlic has a thick, cornmeal-like texture, while garlic powder is finely ground. It won't affect the flavor too much, but you might want to stir or shake between uses, in case the finer powder falls to the bottom of the jar.
Is crushed sage a spice in a bottle? Do/did you use this in your crazy salt?
Yes, crushed sage is a dried herb. It comes in a spice jar, similar in appearance to to dried oregano. I typically crush it between my fingers before adding it because it tends to have bigger pieces in the mixture. I hope that helps!
Does the original Janes Crazy Mixed Up Salt actually contain cayenne pepper?
I have used this seasoning for years & absolutely love it & season everything I cook with it, but we have only one grocer that carries it & a small container of it is over $3.00. So glad to have found this recipe so I can make my own & save myself a small fortune over time.
This is a great question Renee. Does the original Janes Crazy Mixed Up Salt actually contain cayenne pepper?
To the best of my knowlege, Jane’s Krazy Original Mixed-Up Salt does not contain cayenne pepper. However, we like to make it exactly as written here. Feel free to adjust to your own tastes, Gary.
Thank you for the recipe for the crazy salt. I will make it and start using it.
Thanks for the receipe
Gonna make this soon…now if you only had homemade versos of krazy mixed garlic, pepper, & steakhouse. …..I would be in heaven.
Thanks for sharing! Can’t wait to try this out! The original is great and if this is better WOW!
I love the teaspoon. Where did you get that?
The teaspoons were a gift from a friend. You can find them here: http://amzn.to/2qu9ObW
Thanks for the Crazy Salt recipe.
I can’t find Jane’s Krazy mixed up ‘Steakhouse’ seasoning any more. Someone at one of the grocery stores told me the company has been sold.
Do you have similar recipe for Steakhouse seasoning?
Thanks
Have loved this mixture for years but could never quite get it right when I tried to replicate it. Closest I came was the same basic ingredients (minus cayenne) but with tarragon instead of sage, which is also very good. Thank you for solving the mystery! 😊
I made this seasoning,and it wonderful. At first I order the Kracy Jane salt on Amazon but after making this, I cancelled my order. Thank you for this recipes. God bless you
I made this this morning. Great stuff!
I live in N. Ireland and like yourself use Jane’s Krazy Mix-up Salt. I was so happy when I found your recipe. Thank you for sharing.
I haven’t tried making a flavored salt. I’ve enjoy buying mixed salt when I visited Europe. It was just perfect for any of my dishes. I would love to try this recipe. as it looks so easy. Thank you!
Thank you for this!
