Airtight is important to spices, if they lose their oils and dry out too much and get hard or lose flavor.
If you are watching your sodium, or like it a little hotter, definitely, you can adjust the amounts.
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.

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.
Laura says
WAY too salty.
Christina Hitchcock says
Thank you for your feedback I am always looking for ways to better my recipes!
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.
DavetteB says
It is only 1 tablespoon per pound of the whole blend. The whole recipe will season several Pounds of meat.

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
