Easy Burger Seasoning Mix

Ever wondered how to season burgers without buying a ginormous jar of a seasoning mix that you’ll probably never use? I’m here to share with you the best easy burger seasoning mix! It’s savory, has a hint of sweetness, and is all-around perfection.

Your burgers never tasted as good as with this burger seasoning mix, so let’s dive in on how to make the perfect burger seasoning mix.

What usually happens in our house is that my husband will want to grill burgers, and he’ll just go get burger patties to throw on the grill. It’s great, but then the question of how to season them comes up.

Ingredients for burger seasoning mix

In the past, we’ve purchased different seasoning mixes, but they get forgotten about (I was going through my spice cabinet and found a seasoning mix that had an expiration date of 7 years ago…oops) or they’re lacking just the right flavor combination I’m looking for.

Seasoning on raw burgers on white plate

I love making homemade seasoning mixes for things because you can make a small amount to use! In my Fast and Easy Five-Ingredient Recipes: A Cookbook For Busy People book I shared 3 of my favorites: Mexican/taco seasoning, Mediterranean seasoning and Italian seasoning – worth the price of the cookbook alone if you ask me, I personally use them ALL the time!

This homemade burger seasoning is so easy to good and really takes your burger to the next level! How do you make burger seasoning? Simple! All you do is combine paprika, brown sugar, garlic salt, salt and pepper and sprinkle on burgers before they go on the grill.

Grilled burger on a bun with toppings

Seasoning topped burgers grill up perfectly and add the most amazing flavor to your burgers. What I love about this seasoning is also how versatile it is. It goes great on beef burgers, turkey burgers, chicken burgers or veggie burgers! You’ll be the star of all bbq’s with this easy homemade burger seasoning!

      It depends on how thick you like your burgers, we usually use 1/4lb to 1/3 lb ground been per burger

      Hi- you totally could- it’s better if it’s on top because the brown sugar caramelizes as it cooks, but it would be good mixed in too 🙂

    I tried this out the other night and it was delicious!
    I did make some tweaks to it by adding some Worcestershire sauce to each patty and also adding about a teaspoon of a 6 pepperblend with dill.

    Hey SweetPhi I was just wondering if the seasoning can be stored

    Reply
    • Sweetphi says

      April 3, 2020 at 8:24 am

      What a great question! Yes, it can be stored like any other seasoning. What I do is make a big batch of this (I multiply the recipe by like 8 or 10) and then put it in an empty spice container and label it and store it with my other seasonings, so then when I want a burger I can just use it and have it ready to go!

With end of school and life business, May was actu With end of school and life business, May was actually a slower reading/listening month than I’ve had in a while. I read/listened to 4 books this month, and they were all romancy books 💕
Meet Me At The Lake - 5/5. I loved Carley Fortunes first book Every Summer After (one my favorites ever) and her next book did not disappoint. I liked it a smidge less than her first one, but it was an all around good book!
Yours Truly - 4/5. If you’ve ever had anxiety, this book does a great job of having characters with crippling anxiety and describes it well. I did feel like some of this was very repetitive and just wanted the story to move a little faster. And have the good parts be a little longer.
Romantic Comedy - 3.5/5. This book got a TON of hype and tbh I’m not quite sure it lived up to it, it didn’t for me. It was just ok!
The Spanish Love Deception - 4/5 – I thought this was super cute, but again, a little too long to get to the good part of the story, I had to skip a few beginning chapters, but overall cute!
