Optional spices: Chili Powder (1 tsp), Celery Seed (1 tsp), Dried Parsley (1 tsp), and/or Coriander (1/2 tsp)(optional spices to add to homemade burger seasoning)
Optional flavoring: Worcestershire (1 tsp) and/or Soy Sauce (1 tsp) (mix in the ground beef before forming patties)
Instructions
Combine seasonings: Add all the ingredients to a small mixing bowl. Use a fork of a small whisk to combine well. (Tip: If you want to season the beef BEFORE forming hamburger patties, omit the salt. You will need to liberally season the patties with salt just before cooking.)
Store: Transfer to an airtight storage container, spice container or glass clamp jar. Store in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months.
To use: Depending upon how well-seasoned you prefer your burgers, you will need about ½ to 1 tablespoon of homemade burger seasoning per pound of ground beef.
Using seasoning mix for the most flavor (recommended): Add Worcestershire and soy sauce to ground beef. Very lightly and gently mix the meat a couple times to incorporate. Form patties. Just before cooking, sprinkle seasoning liberally and evenly over the top side of the burgers (I use about ¼ tsp of seasoning per side). Add burger patties to grill, grill-pan, skillet, or place on a baking sheet – seasoning side down. Season the other side (now the top!) and cook to desired doneness.
Quick application of seasoning mix: Form hamburger patties and sprinkle seasoning liberally and evenly over top (I use about ¼ tsp of seasoning per side). Add to grill, grill pan, cast iron skillet, or baking sheet - seasoning side down. Season the other side of the burgers and cook to desired doneness.
Other option: Add Worcestershire, soy sauce and 2-3 teaspoons of seasoning mix (without salt!) to 1 pound of ground beef. Very lightly and gently mix the meat a couple times to incorporate. Form patties. Just before cooking, sprinkle kosher salt liberally and evenly over the top side of the burgers. Add burger patties to grill, grill-pan, skillet, or place on a baking sheet – salt side down. Season the other side (now the top!) with salt and cook to desired doneness.
