  • 1 onion, small diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 green bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and small diced
  • 2 stalks celery, small diced
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
