I was getting ready to make hamburgers last night, and I discovered I was nearly out of my favorite hamburger seasoning blend. When I say "almost out," I mean about 1/2 a teaspoon left in the bottle. I needed 1 & 1/2 to 2 tablespoons for my burgers. So I decided to see if I could create a blend that tasted like it. After reading the back of the bottle, I got to work mixing seasonings and compared it to what was left in the bottle. Success! We tried it with the burgers last night and they turned out delicious! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
4 tsp dry onion flakes
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp onion powder
1 1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp paprika
Mix ingredients well and store in airtight container. Add 1/2 - 1 Tbsp per pound of hamburger meat. If possible, add seasoning to meat 2-4 hours prior to cooking. Keep meat refrigerated until ready to cook.
*This will make enough to season 3.75 lbs using 1 Tbsp per pound.
For a crowd (~7.5 lbs hamburger meat):
2 Tbsp + 2 tsp onion flakes
1 Tbsp + 1 tsp garlic powder
1 Tbsp + 1 tsp onion powder
2 1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp black pepper
2 tsp paprika
