Salty, sweet, spicy, and earthy seasoning will be your new go-to burger rub.
I love a good grilled hamburger.
Come summer at my house they are in heavy rotation.

While toppings are important, burger success starts with the right seasoning for the meat.
You might think a bevy of toppings negates the need for highly seasoned meat.
This is not true!

First, I have some friends who skip all the toppings.
Finally, for a little bit of subtle heat, I worked in ground cayenne and ground mustard.
A little goes a long way, as I reminded myself during the testing process.

Not sure which way you want to go?
It’s nice to have another reason to fire up the grill.
Also, the rub only yields 1/4 cup, which ensures your spices stay fresh.
It’s the hero of your summer cookouts, so vibrant ingredients are a must.
It’s also a great blend that it’s possible for you to adjust with different spices and herbs.
For beef, you could up the paprika.
For pork, the brown sugar for more sweetness.
I use 1 teaspoon of seasoning per pound of hamburger meat.
The burger seasoning will easily keep for 3 months.
Sprinkle seasoning on the outside of the patties.
It will form a caramelized flavor crust when it hits the grill.
I use 1 teaspoon of seasoning for every pound of burger patties.
