Seasoning for Burgers - Homemade Burger Spice Mix
Finding the right Seasoning for Burgers can make the difference between bland patties and unforgettable meals. This simple homemade mix delivers restaurant-quality flavor using spices you already have at home.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons coarse sea salt
- 1 ½ tablespoons paprika
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon garlic salt
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
Instructions
- Whisk together all of the spices in a small bowl until they are homogenous.
- Sprinkle over your burger patty as desired.
- Note: It's best to season meat that's been set out of the fridge for a bit since seasonings don't like to stick to cold meat. I start seasoning mine 20-30 minutes before cooking and then again right before tossing on the grill or in the pan.
Notes
Recipe Yield and Scaling: This makes about ¼ cup of seasoning, and can season 12 burgers when using 1 teaspoon for each. Feel free to scale the recipe up to make a larger batch!
Applying the Seasoning: You can either add this seasoning mix to your uncooked burger by working it in with your hands or adding it on top of a freshly cooked burger patty.
Customization Options: For a spicier blend, replace the chili powder with chipotle chili powder and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Other spices you can add include a teaspoon of dried minced onion, cumin, oregano, and black pepper.
Alternative Mixing Method: You can combine the seasoning by placing all of the spices in a sealed jar and shaking for about 30 seconds.
