Frequently Asked Questions about the Best Seasoning for a Burger
For a basic burger patty recipe, I add 1 tablespoon of this Burger Seasoning Blend to 1.5 pounds of ground beef. I mix it in and form my patties. If you are concerned about your salt intake, you can cut back several teaspoons salt.
Airtight is important to spices, if they lose their oils and dry out too much and get hard or lose flavor. Mason Jars are great.
Absolutely, I love having this seasoning on hand, therefore I always make a big batch, especially in the summer when I am grilling a lot.
If you are watching your sodium, or like it a little hotter, definitely, you can adjust the amounts. It is so much better than ordinary seasoning salt.

loved our hamburgers today. this is a keeper!
You will love when grilling too! Thanks
Are you using table salt or kosher salt?
Table salt might account for the ‘too salty’ comments.
Just made sliders with this recipe as a trial run and true to the site name, It Is A Keeper! 🙂
I did break the 2 T of paprika into 1 T each of regular and smoked paprika, as well as dropped the salt to 2 t based on some reviews here and other burger seasoning recipes I’ve come across.
Added 2 T of the seasoning to the beef and formed the sliders. Can’t wait to make these for a crowd!
Made this today, smells wonderful! Question on the onion powder…is it 1 tbsp or should it be teaspoon. Only ask because the recipe starts with Tbsp, then to 1/2 tbsp, then to tsp… just curious. Thanks so much!
Love your burger seasoning blend, thanks!
Homemade is so much yummier and I had everything in hand to make this already!
This is a nice seasoning recipe. I keep a jar with it ready to go.
Tried today and was awesome in burger.
I know it really ups the flavor. Thank you !

Good god that was too much salt
Seasoning is definitely to taste. You can adjust it however you like to meet your specifications. Try making it your way, that is why recipes are so nice, you have the control.
Why are some ingredients marked out !!???
Those are just links to buy in amazon. The ingredients are still what you will use.
I didn’t read any reviews but I cook a lot and I knew that was too much salt. I used only 2 tablespoons of pink Himalayan salt. I used smoked paprika and paprika. I added 1/2 of a tablespoon of Kinders Woodfire garlic as well and only 1 tsp of chili powder and I added 1 tsp of ground Chipotle pepper! My combination had so much flavor and it was super delicious.

You should post your own recipe if you are such an expert
Hahahha awsome!
WAY too salty.
Thank you for your feedback I am always looking for ways to better my recipes!
I haven’t tried it yet, but to answer the question… Paragraph 3 states 1 tablespoon per 1.5 lbs of beef. Might solve the salt concentration issue,
thank you for your feedback!
