Christina's Onion Soup Mix

from $5 Dinners

1 TBSP beef bouillon granules
3 TBSP dried onion flakes
2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp pepper

Stir ingredients together. If beef granules are too large, simply put them in a small baggie and roll over them with a rolling pin until they resemble a fine powder. Makes equivalent of one packet... but without the yucky fillers!
