Notes
Use enough seasoning: Start with about 1–2 teaspoons of burger seasoning per pound of ground beef.
Season the outside of the patties: Sprinkle the seasoning evenly over both sides of the formed burger patties instead of mixing it into the meat. This helps keep the burgers juicy and tender.
Season right before cooking: Adding the seasoning just before cooking helps the burgers develop a flavorful crust.
Smoked paprika adds grill flavor: It mimics the subtle smoky taste you get from outdoor grilling.
Press the seasoning gently: Lightly press the seasoning onto the outside of the patties so it sticks during cooking.
Use it beyond burgers: This seasoning also works well on roasted potatoes, fries, and grilled vegetables.
