What Do You Season Burgers With?
This recipe has a mixture of savory, sweet, and spicy ingredients. It's made with paprika, salt, pepper, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
How to Make Burger Seasoning
Making homemade burger seasoning is so easy that you could create a whole batch in less than five minutes.
Simply place all the ingredients in an airtight container, seal, and shake to combine. You could also add all ingredients to a bowl, mix, and then transfer to an airtight container.
How to Season Burgers
When you're ready to use your burger seasoning, simply sprinkle as much or as little seasoning as you like on both sides of the patty. Measure with your heart!
Make sure the hamburgers are defrosted so the seasoning will stick to the patty.
How to Store Burger Seasoning
Store seasoning in an airtight container in a cool, dry, and dark place (like a pantry). It should remain fresh for six months.

"My whole family loves this seasoning blend. My kids actually request it on their hamburgers! A definite win," according to Kristicus.
"This adds such a great, and versatile, flavor. Aside from halving the salt, I follow it as written and it's wonderful on burgers (beef, turkey, even soy patties), chicken, and pork. This is now my go-to seasoning," says Jessica.
"This seasoning is great! I didn't just use it in my hamburger (which was why I made a batch of it in the first place) but I added it to all sorts of things I was cooking: meatloaf, stew, even in vegetables such as corn! My husband raved about the corn! I DID just add a pinch of cayenne instead of 1/4 tsp since my daughter does not like anything spicy, and she liked this as well," raves Lisa Ingram.
