BURGER SEASONING BLEND

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.

Best Homemade Burger Seasoning - It is a Keeper

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.

Subscribe to my YouTube channel for step-by-step tutorials of your favorite It Is a Keeper recipes!

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.

Best Homemade Burger Seasoning - It is a Keeper

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.

    That is quite a bit of salt. Is it possible to make this recipe with less?

      Of course, feel free to adjust to suit your tastes. However, this recipe makes a lot and you only need 1 tablespoon per pound of beef. The amount of salt in 1 tablespoon of seasoning is reasonable.

    Just tried it minus the cumin, was excellent and made my already good burgers even better.
    Used 2 tbsp to 2lb beef and 1lb pork. Plus all my other goodies in the burger

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

    I am anxious to try this ! What is the best way to store it, and how long will it stay fresh?

      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 🙂

    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.

      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. 🙂

        What % of your seasoning of total meat please. It is more acurate and easy to calculate.
        Thanks

      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.
