Instructions
Making the Hamburger Seasoning
- Gather your ingredients and measure out each spice according to the ingredient lineup.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine kosher salt, smoked paprika, coarsely ground black pepper, brown sugar, ground mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and ground cumin.
- Use a whisk or spoon to mix the spices thoroughly until evenly combined with no clumps.
- Transfer the seasoning blend into an airtight glass jar to store and maintain freshness.
- When ready to use, sprinkle the seasoning generously over burger patties before grilling. For best flavor, let the meat rest for a few minutes after seasoning.
Notes
- Store the seasoning in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for up to six months.
- Try swapping smoked paprika for regular paprika for a milder flavor.
- Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick or dried herbs like oregano for an herby twist.
- Use about 1 tablespoon of seasoning per pound of meat for best results.
- Make larger batches by scaling ingredients proportionally, but maintain ratios for consistent flavor.
