Burger Seasoning
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon of sweet paprika (14g, $0.04*)
- ½ teaspoon of smoked paprika (10g, $0.02*)
- ½ teaspoon of onion powder (12g, $0.04)
- ½ teaspoon of garlic powder (12g, $0.02)
- ¼ teaspoon of freshly cracked black pepper (10g, $0.04)
- ⅛ teaspoon of cayenne pepper (8g, $0.02)
- ½ teaspoon of salt (4g, $0.02)
Instructions
Step 1
To create your burger seasoning, start by gathering all your spices and herbs. In a medium-sized bowl, add your salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and any other flavor boosters you love. Use a whisk or a fork to mix everything together until it’s well combined and the colors are evenly distributed. Once that’s done, you can use this seasoning right away to elevate your burgers, or if you’d like to save it for later, transfer it to an airtight container. Make sure to keep it stored in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat, so it stays fresh and flavorful for your next grilling adventure!
Step 2
Before you get started seasoning your burger patties, make sure they’re at room temperature for even cooking. This little trick helps achieve that juicy, tender texture we all love. Once your patties are ready, grab your burger seasoning and sprinkle about ¼ to ½ teaspoon on one side of each patty. As you do this, give a gentle press to help the seasoning adhere. Flip the patties over and repeat on the other side. You want a nice, even coating that’ll create a flavorful crust as they cook. Now, you're all set to cook those seasoned beauties!

My Tip
For a deeper flavor, try toasting the sweet and smoked paprika in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds before adding them to your seasoning mix. This little step enhances their natural sweetness and smokiness, giving your burgers an extra kick!
Leftovers
To keep your burger seasoning fresh, store it in a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid in a cool, dark place. It should last up to six months. When you're ready to use it again, simply sprinkle it on your burgers without needing to reheat—it's ready to go!
Make It Your Own
For a zesty twist, try swapping the sweet paprika for chili powder to add a bit more heat and complexity to your burger seasoning. This change will give your burgers a delightful kick that pairs beautifully with the smoky notes of the smoked paprika!
