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.

WAY too salty.

Mark says
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,
Christina Hitchcock says
thank you for your feedback!
Susan says
1/4 cup of salt was A LOT of salt!! My family would not eat their burgers. So sad. I thought it had some really good taste too it but it was extremely salty. Has anyone had any luck cutting the salt back? I want to give this another go but unsure of how to balance it all? Just double everything else??
Christina Hitchcock says
If you don’t like the amount of salt, you can always scale it back to suit your tastes. I only use 1 tablespoon of prepared seasoning per pound of ground beef.
Gail says
We really liked this seasoning on the burgers I made tonight. I did make one small change. We like smoked paprika so I used that for half of the paprika in the recipe. Thanks for sharing.
Christina Hitchcock says
Great suggestion!
Maddy Wright says
I love this recipe and it takes the burger to another level. I had dried onion to the meat as well as the seasoning. Cooking on the BBQ gave them a juicy charred flavour, awesome.
Victoria says
Will this go good with chicken, tenderloin, etc? Thanks
Christina Hitchcock says
I haven’t tried it on chicken or tenderloin. But I don’t see why not.
Rachel says
