What’s in this Burger Seasoning Recipe?

I made this blend of spices to create a simple, savory, and smoky spices make this hamburger seasoning blend the perfect complement to any burger recipe!

Smoked Paprika: Adds a smoky and slightly sweet flavor to the burger seasoning. Onion Powder: Imparts a savory and slightly sweet onion flavor, enhancing the overall umami taste of the burger patties. Dried Oregano: Adds an earthy and herbaceous note to the seasoning. Kosher Salt: Enhances the natural flavors of the ground meat. Garlic Powder: Provides a rich garlic flavor to the seasoning. Ground Black Pepper: Adds a mildly spicy kick to the burgers.

Pro Tip: For a spicy seasoning blend, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper flakes!

Variations

I have used this seasoning blend with all kinds of burgers. Here are some of my favorites that have worked really well for my family.

For a Mediterranean burger (yes, this seasoning works with chicken and turkey burgers too!), I replaced the smoked paprika with regular paprika, and add some dried thyme, rosemary, and lemon zest. For a Southwestern burger, I swapped the smoked paprika for chipotle powder, and added some ground cumin, chili powder, and lime zest. For a BBQ burger (a favorite with my kids), I mixed in some brown sugar and ground mustard. For mushroom burgers (what my husband always requests), I mixed in some powdered shiitake mushrooms or mushroom seasoning.

How to Store

I store burger seasoning in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 months for best quality. When we are making burgers for a crowd, I double or triple the recipe and then store it in my spice cabinet along with all of my other homemade spice blends.

Serving Suggestions

I’ve used this seasoning is tasty on beef burgers, chicken burgers, turkey burgers, and even taco meat! I’ve also used it to season grilled corn, french fries, tater tots, or even some sautéed vegetables.
