Homemade Shake & Bake Mixture

A few weeks ago, my husband requested Shake & Bake pork chops, something that he {and I} grew up eating.  Since I remembered it fondly, I set out to find a good copycat recipe.  I am just not a fan of buying premade mixes. these days.  This was one of my dad's specialties when I was young:)  We always had it with Rice-a-Roni on the side, which I had forgotten.  My dad reminded my of that when I told him that I had discovered this recipe.  It tastes just like I remember my dad's tasting, but it is homemade, so I know exactly what is in it.  

If you do make this, you should know that the recipe makes a HUGE amount.  I cut it in half to make 5 pork chops for my family.  I do think I actually could have only made 1/4 of the original recipe and that would have even been plenty.
