This Burger Seasoning Blend is my go-to seasoning for making the best burger patty recipe. It adds an incredible flavor boost to any burger recipe.
Kick your burgers up a notch with this flavorful Burger Seasoning Blend. By making my own seasoning blends I can control how much salt goes in to each blend and I know that the spices and herbs are fresh. Plus, it’s a lot less expensive than store-bought blends.
Whenever I make burgers, I use this blend. It adds a layer of flavor that you just won’t get from plain salt and pepper.
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.
I also use it on frozen patties – simply sprinkle an even coating on both sides of the frozen patty then grill as usual.

Just tried it minus the cumin, was excellent and made my already good burgers even better.

I would use kosher salt. It sticks better to food.

Nancy says
How much seasoning for one lb. of hamburger?
Donna says
I am anxious to try this ! What is the best way to store it, and how long will it stay fresh?
Christina Hitchcock says
I keep it in a sealed jar in my spice cabinet. I’ve had it for up to 2 months – but it doesn’t last long in my house 🙂
Mark says
I found out I only like cumin in Mexican food. The cumin took over the burger and gave it a Mexican flair we didnot care for. Maybe I have some overly powerful cumin.
Christina Hitchcock says
I’ve found that when I purchase my spices directly from a spice store (not a grocery store) they are much stronger because they tend to be fresher. If that’s the case, you can always cut down on the amount of cumin in the recipe and adjust it to your tastes. 🙂
Ashley says
How much seasoning do I use for each lb of meat?
Christina Hitchcock says
I use about 1 teaspoon
Jan says
What % of your seasoning of total meat please. It is more acurate and easy to calculate.
Thanks
Christina Hitchcock says
I’m not sure of the %. I always use the measurements mentioned in the recipe. Sorry.
james wright says
Hi Ashley, This is a dry rub so just take a pinch and sprinkle it on each side of the burger. Let is sit for a little bit if possible to get the flavor into the meat. This recipe is excellent. I am trying it right now.
Christina Hitchcock says
THat’s exactly what I do! 🙂

Her original page says to use 1 TB per 1.5 pound of meat. Here’s the link if you want to reference it. https://www.itisakeeper.com/11737/burger-seasoning-blend-2/
