What’s in this Burger Seasoning Recipe?

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.

Variations on Hamburger Seasoning

This burger seasoning mix pairs really well with just about any recipe, but you can also jazz it up a bit for different kinds of burgers.

  • For a Mediterranean burger (yes, this seasoning works with chicken and turkey burgers too!), replace the smoked paprika with regular paprika, and add some dried thyme, rosemary, and lemon zest.
  • For a Southwestern burger, swap the smoked paprika for chipotle powder, and add some ground cumin, chili powder, and lime zest.
  • For a BBQ burger, mix in some brown sugar and ground mustard.
  • For mushroom burgers, mix in some powdered shiitake mushrooms or mushroom seasoning.

What are you supposed to season burgers with?

No matter how you season your burgers, it’s important to always include salt and pepper to bring out the natural flavor of the meat. I think this spice blend goes really well with hamburger meat, but it’s also great with chicken or turkey burgers.

How do you add flavor to hamburgers?

This seasoning blend is just one way to add flavor to hamburgers. You can also add flavor by using a burger sauce after the burgers are finished cooking.

What herbs go well in burgers?

I love the taste of dried oregano, but rosemary, sage, thyme, parsley, and basil also pair well.

Is it best to season burgers before cooking?

Yes! You want to mix this seasoning directly into the raw meat so that the flavor penetrates all the way through.
