Hamburger Seasoning Mix

A great addition to season your raw hamburger meat patties. This recipe contains two parts: 
1) the dry seasoning mix*, which consists of the dry ingredients, and 
2) the wet ingredients to be added to dry seasoning mix when ready to make hamburgers.


Makes enough seasoning for approximately 1 to 3 pounds of raw hamburger meat.

*The dry seasoning mix can be stored in an airtight container until ready to use.

Dry Ingredients:
Paprika
Garlic Powder
Garlic Salt
Salt
Black Pepper
Cayenne Pepper
Brown Sugar
Cumin
Onion Powder
Mrs. Dash Southwest Chipotle Seasoning Blend

Wet Ingredients:
A-1 Sauce
Worcestershire Sauce
Olive Oil
Water

Directions:
*For the dry seasoning, mix together
One (1) teaspoon of each of the following:
Salt
Black Pepper
Brown Sugar (or up to 2 Tablespoons)
Mrs. Dash Southwest Chipotle Seasoning Blend
 

And...
One-half (½) teaspoon of each of the following:
Garlic Powder
Cumin
Onion Powder
Paprika
 

And...
One-fourth (¼) teaspoon of each of the following:
Cayenne Pepper
Garlic Salt

Combine all dry ingredients in a small bowl and stir thoroughly (makes enough to season 1 to 3 pounds raw hamburger).
When ready to make hamburger patties, add the dry seasoning mix with 

One (1) teaspoon of each of the following (reduce by 1/2 if combining with 1 pound of hamburger meat):
Olive Oil
Water
A-1 Sauce
Worcestershire Sauce

Stir together thoroughly, and then add the mixture to raw hamburger meat, mixing with your hands (do not over-handle the meat). Form patties and cook.

Tips/Notes:
If storing dry seasoning mix...stir before using.
I like to use a hamburger press to form consistently sized patties.
If frying burgers in skillet, use a non-stick skillet (un-greased), and cook over medium-low heat (#4 on my electric stove).
Turn burgers only once.
Once burgers are cooked, drain on paper towels and let sit for a few minutes before serving.
