For a well-seasoned burger, you want a balance of salt, umami, and aromatics. Here’s a simple and flavorful seasoning mix:

Basic Burger Seasoning (per 1 lb of ground beef)

1 tsp salt

½ tsp black pepper

½ tsp garlic powder

½ tsp onion powder

½ tsp smoked paprika (optional for depth)

For Extra Flavor:

½ tsp Worcestershire sauce (adds umami)

½ tsp mustard powder (for a subtle tang)

¼ tsp cayenne pepper (for a mild kick)

How to Use It:

1. Mix the seasoning evenly into the ground beef before forming patties.

2. Let the patties rest for 10-15 minutes before cooking to enhance flavor.

3. Cook to your desired doneness and enjoy!
