This Old Gal Seasoned Salt {House Seasoning} is an all purpose seasoning. Use in any recipe calling for Lawry’s Seasoned Salt or house seasoning.
This Old Gal Seasoned Salt {House Seasoning}
Lawry’s Seasoned Salt was created in 1938 to season prime ribs of beef served at the world-famous Lawry’s The Prime Rib restaurant, in Beverly Hills, CA. It’s a fun place to eat and we go there a couple times a year.
I love the ambiance and it reminds me of Old Hollywood. Your waiter brings over a huge silver serving station and carves the roast prime rib right at your table. Then they bring you delicious side dishes of creamed spinach, corn, mashed potatoes, the good stuff!
This Lawry’s Seasoned Salt Copycat Recipe inspired my This Old Gal Seasoned Salt recipe.

In your comments you mention you can use a combo of celery seed and salt to total one tablespoon for the recipe, but the recipe calls for 3 T of celery salt. I’ve read that you can use 2T salt + 1T ground celery seed to make your own celery salt. Can you clarify if you meant to do the combo x3 to equal the 3T of celery salt called for in the recipe.
I agree with you
Jill – Your Tog seasoning is the best!! Have been a fan of Lawrys for years – yours is actually better! Initially made it for your absolutely amazing potato salad recipe and now use it for so much more! Hashbrowns are Devine with this! (I use Lankato Monkfruit sugar substitute) Thank YOU for both amazing recipes!
Thank you so much, shell. I am glad you enjoy my seasoning mix. Jill
Adds the best and greatest taste to our steaks and pot roast.
Thank you so much, John. Jill
Haven’t tried yet
Why the potato starch? Thank you!
I am curious about the nutritional information for Lawry’s Seasoning Salt. It is pretty useless if the amounts of percentages are all zero. There are some FACTS missing. This looks to be a high sodium recipe and many people including myself are trying to track their intake which is already difficult already!.
I plan on just leaving out the salt…will add a bit to whatever recipe if I want to…
See my comment on that issue
But…the recipe is for “seasoned salt?”
Thank you for the recipe. I used yours for a keto friendly version made with swerve brand erythritol. My son absolutely loves Lawry’s on baked chicken thighs. I am trying it out tonight. (fingers crossed it is a close approximation).
Thank you, Diane. Jill
Your link for the Trivets goes straight to the Instant Pot, as does the Instant Pot one.
Regarding the comments about those that said Lawry’s Seasoned Salt doesn’t contain MSG: Lawry’s Label states it contains tricalcium PHOSPHATES AND NATURAL FLAVORS both of which are pseudonyms (aliases) for MSG and are also neurotoxins that destroy our brain cells and trigger migraines. Many people are not informed of this fact. It’s great to have a chemical-free alternative.
Thank you, Carol. Jill
Just made this & really like it, it’s tasty stuff! I used about half the amount of sugar though. Only had smoked paprika so that’s what was used. It might be even closer to Lawry’s if it was regular paprika.
I love this stuff! I stopped buying Lawry’s because it’s really expensive at the only store near me that carries it, but this recipe is so easy and I think it’s brtter than the real thing. The only change I make is that I double the paprika because I just really love paprika.
Do you use celery seed, or ground celery seed?
Can’t wait to try this!
I like your site and the roast beef recipe. I am finding, however, that it is difficult to load your pages on my iPad, there are too many large photos that need to load up and my ipad often hiccups while loading more difficult. Smaller photos please. otherwise I
go onto the next side….
Love this seasoning- used it on the Rotisserie Chicken which was also great and worked well in the Air Fryer. Meat was tender and juicy and not dried out. Thank you!
Sounds delightful! And those panicking about the sugar…it is about 1/3rd of the entire recipe. You sprinkle it on your food, so really should be less than 1/4 tsp serving…it will not be enough sugar to budge your blood sugar. If it worries you use your fave alternative sweetener..or 1/2 and half sugar/sweetener.
Loving all you recipes Jill!
I’m just curious about the corn starch? Why is it added? Does it add flavor?
I read that according to Lawry’s cornstarch is added to make seasoning stick to the food
Hi Jill. I am interested in your recipe, but I can’t have celery salt or celery seed, not celery powder either. Is there anything I can substitute for the celery stuff? Thanks!
I’m pre-diabetic so I avoid sugar. Will omitting the sugar change the flavoring? If so, what would you recommend as a substitute?
Hi Grace. How about a sugar substitute? Jill
I have the same concerns as some have stated here about the sugar and cornstarch ingredients so I’m going to play around with a combo of xylitol and cocoanut sugar for the sugar (I dislike stevia) and arrowroot or gluccie for the cornstarch. If you try the same sort of substitutions, could you report your findings here and I’ll do the same.
If you have pets PLEASE be aware that xylitol, even in small doses, can kill a dog. I have this information in a veterinary article from my vet. 1-1/2 to 2 sticks of xylitol sweetened gum has killed a 10lb. dog. I, personally, love xylitol but am very wary of using it in cooking because sometimes we allow our dogs to have a little leftovers.
Thanks for the updated recipe and for posting it. Lawry’s is loaded with MSG and will put my butt into the hospital – that is why I stopped using it years ago – but this I can and will use.
Hi Kathi~
So glad that this will help you enjoy seasoned salt again. I try to stay away from MSG too. Jill
Lawry’s has no MSG. It says it right on the label
they say no MSG but there is something else included which is like MSG. I don’t have a bottle handy to tell you what it is, but I stopped buying it once I knew this.
Lots of commenters are concerned with the sugar amount. You can play around with her recipe, add half the amount or none at all and see what the difference is 🙂 That’s why I love cooking and baking, it’s all science not something set in stone 😀
I want to use this on a roasted chicken (TOG recipe for AF) but do not have celery salt. I am wondering if I could use something else (adobo?) or if that would change the flavor too much. Thank you in advance.
I’m doing whole30 and can’t have sugar or cornstarch. Do you have any idea if Arrowroot can be used instead of the cornstarch? And can the sugar be left out or would it just not be good without it?
Put uncooked rice in the shaker it keeps the salt frook caking.
Now I can finally use this seasoning salt – the real Lawry’s has MSG in it and will put me into the hospital. Thanks for posting this.
Lawry’s does not contain MSG.
Curious about the addition of cornstarch. Can you share the purpose of it since it doesn’t add to the flavor? Thanks so much! Sounds tasty.
Anti caking agent, I’d imagine 🙂
i have learned so many delicious recipes and directions from TOG thank you so much for your time and your wonderful advice and pictures
Hi Sally~
Thank you very much for the kind words.
Jill
I’ve never been a fan of Lawry’s Seasoned Salt, but I made your copycat recipe tonight and I have to say, this stuff is addicting.
Jill, Your recipes are just what I needed for my brand-new-how-do-I-use-this-thing pressure cooker. FoWund St. Louis Style Spare Ribs recipe and I’m going to follow you faithfully.
After coming back from a trip to Ireland, I observed recipes on Facebook and see sugar is in Everything! I want less sugar now too. Suppose I could try this without any. The other ingredients are wonderful.
Why not use Stevia powder? I use Stevia all the time to replace sugar, including using liquid Stevia extract in my coffee.
Is the sugar necessary? Trying to limit my sugar intake. I understand it’s just a little per serving, but wonder if you’ve ever tried it without and if it makes a difference?
Hi, I’m planning to make your potato salad. Can I just use Lawry’s instead of the copycat spice recipe? Or is yours different and better? Thanks!
Hi Aimee~
You sure can use Lawry’s if you like. Add a touch more celery seed, if you have it in the house. Mine is a bit different and I think better, but that is my opinion. I love my seasoned salt on hard boiled eggs too.
Jill
Always wondered what seasoned salt was. So its sugar with some salt, paprika and a hint of onion, garlic, celery and turmeric. Now I know why ppl put it on all their stuff…SUGAR lol Smart ppl, Lawry’s Restaurant.

Seasoned salt is salt with other seasonings. Salt is the main ingredient.
Jill
Hi Jill, according to the ingredient list there is twice as much sugar as salt. Did you perhaps mean 4 teaspoons?
Laura, look at the recipe again. You missed one ingredient.
