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.

The best homemade burger seasoning

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. 

The best 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. 

The best burger seasoning mix for grilling burgers

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.

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!

      Thank you for your feedback – I’m so surprised to hear this. I’ve used this seasoning on turkey burgers/beef burgers. Could you let me know if you made any modifications?

      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!

I forgot where I read it, but it was something abo I forgot where I read it, but it was something about 'normalizing normal/slightly ugly/normal kitchens' and that resonated with me. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When we moved into our house, my original thought was "I absolutely love the house, but maybe we'll redo the kitchen in 5 years to be all white" 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Why though? Because everyone else is doing that and it's 'cool'?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
After having lived in our house for 6+ months, now the most I have dreams of doing is maybe to redo the laminate countertops that are peeling in some places. Maybe. One day.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But this isn't some before/after post. It's just a post about saying your kitchen/home is fine the way it is, and if you don't have some pinterest board or desire to change your entire kitchen, that's a-ok.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don't get me wrong, I still LOVE looking at beautiful kitchens and spaces, so I'll just continue adding pretty images to my weekly love-lists and leaving it there - for looking at pretty things vs. wishing to change my house or feeling bad about my kitchen.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Personally, I love my house. It feels homey and welcoming, and that's the vibe I'm going to keep going with.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Weekly love list on the blog, not kitchen related, but you can read it with a cup of coffee from whatever kitchen you’re in 👉🏻 https://sweetphi.com/love-list-29/
