Classic Burger Seasoning
Elevate your burger game with our classic burger seasoning mix! This flavorful blend is easy to make (and customize) with pantry ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon sweet Hungarian paprika
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt or kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire powder, (see note)
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dark brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional (see note)
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together in a bowl.
- Store seasoning mix in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months. (Shelf life will depend on how fresh your individual spices were.)
- When ready to use, sprinkle over burger patties before grilling. Or, gently mix 2-3 teaspoons of seasoning into 1 pound of ground meat before shaping the burgers. If you're making smash burgers, sprinkle the seasoning over the patties on the griddle right after you've smashed them.
Notes
- Worcestershire powder can be purchased online, from specialty spice shops and on Amazon. Head to the Ingredients section in the article above for more info.
- Cayenne pepper adds a spicy kick to the burger seasoning. Feel free to increase or decrease the quantity, to taste. We often leave it out entirely for a milder seasoning.
- If the seasoning mix clumps with storage, use a fork or small whisk to stir it before using. It'll easily break up.
