We love a good burger. We think there’s an art to making them. There is just nothing like a juicy, well-seasoned, flavorful burger fresh off the grill. When it’s grilling season, they need to be hot of the grill with a slight char-grilled outside and juicy inside. When it’s not grilling season, the homemade spice blend needs to be tried-and-true so that you can still create restaurant burgers on the stovetop the whole family loves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That brings us to the perfect burger seasoning recipe. If you get the beef and the seasoning blend right, you end up with the best burgers. Every. Time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our favorite hamburger seasoning spice mix is full of flavor and uses basic ingredients that you already have in your pantry: paprika, ground black pepper, kosher salt, dark brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, and ground cayenne pepper. One of the many reasons we think this is the best burger seasoning is because it still lets the natural flavor of the ground beef shine through. It doesn’t overpower the beef. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s the secret to a great burger?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The secret to a good hamburger is the meat. That\u2019s it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want juicy burgers, choose ground beef that has a slightly higher fat content. We recommend 80\/20 ground chuck. The 80\/20 fat-to-lean ratio will help keep the hamburger patties moist and juicy, without being greasy or causing flare-ups. We don\u2019t recommend ground sirloin or ground round because they are leaner, which means they will create drier and less flavorful burgers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you choose a leaner ratio, the hamburger will likely be dry. If all you have on-hand is 90\/10, you can add a teaspoon of olive oil to the meat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You do not need fillers or extras in your burger patty, like egg or bread crumbs. The juicy flavor of beef is the star of the show, and that\u2019s what needs to shine through.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
