Hamburger Seasoning

Discover a simple seasoning that will take your homemade hamburgers to the next level!

What is it that makes a burger so mouthwatering? It’s not merely the tender texture of ground beef or the colorful fixings like lettuce, tomato, ketchup, and mustard. At the core of every beautiful burger, there’s a sensational seasoning that has stood the test of time. This iconic blend of savory and smoky ingredients is a must-have for both grill masters and newbie cooks.

I used to make burgers plain with ground beef, salt, and pepper. But this hamburger seasoning jazzes up the whole meal and makes any burger I craft the star of the show. Don’t make the same mistake I did—your burger deserves to be dressed up good and proper!

For starters, this blend has just the right amount of heat from the mustard to keep your taste buds tingling but not overpowered with spice, while the paprika adds a subtle smokiness. It only takes five minutes to make, but it lasts a long time in the pantry, so you can use it whenever burgers are on the household menu. But it’s not just burgers that can be enhanced by this epic wave of spiced savory tastes. This blend works well for all kinds of meats, so feel free to experiment to your heart’s content.

How else can I use this seasoning?

As I hinted, burgers aren’t the only dish that this seasoning works well for. I’ve sprinkled this magic blend onto Crispy Baked Keto Drumsticks and Juicy Boneless Pork Ribs, and they both turned out great. You could also add some to mozzarella sticks, halloumi fries, or even sprinkle it over the top of creamy soups. Make sure to start with a little at a time so you don’t accidentally overpower the food you’re adding it to. And remember to taste-test along the way—the most fun part!

How do I store leftovers?

Keep your jar of hamburger seasoning in the pantry for up to 6 months. Make sure the jar or container is always sealed to keep it as fresh as possible. It’s important to store seasonings in a cool, dark, and dry place to avoid spoilage.
