Equipment
Ingredients
- 1/2 tbsp Natural Ancient Sea Salt fine, or 1 tbsp coarse sea salt
- 1/2 tbsp Black Pepper ground, or 1 tbsp coarse black pepper
- 2 tbsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tbsp Onion Powder
- 2 tsp Smoked Paprika
- 1 tsp Ground Dry Mustard
- ½ tsp dried thyme
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to an airtight container
- Mix the spices until incorporated
- Store for up to 6 months
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.
