How to Make the Best Hamburger Seasoning

There is nothing like a big, juicy burger. But seasoning with just salt and pepper leaves much to be desired.

There are two ways to use this blend. First, you can mix it into the beef before forming the patties. I like to use about 1 tablespoon per pound of beef and mix it into the meat. Be careful that you’re not overworking the meat. That will leave your burgers dry and tough.

Another way to use this seasoning is to add it after making the hamburgers patties. Sprinkle about 14/ to 1/2 teaspoon on each side of the burgers before cooking.
