Hamburger Seasoning Recipe - Fab Flavours
For Your Burgers, Sausages and Patties

For the home burger maker, a quality hamburger seasoning recipe is essential! This blend of spices and herbs fits the bill perfectly and can be made in minutes, and works with all ground pork recipes. It also makes a tasty seasoning for many other dishes. (See the bottom of the page for other recipes)

What You'll Need: (makes about 8-9 tablespoons)

2 tbsp dried thyme
1 tbsp coriander seeds
1 tbsp paprika powder
1 tbsp fennel seeds 
4 tsp dried sage
4 tsp black peppercorns
2-3 tsp cayenne pepper
2 tsp dried marjoram
2 tsp mustard powder
2 tsp salt
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp turmeric powder

tbsp = tablespoon
tsp = teaspoon

Directions:

• Grind the fennel and coriander seeds, salt and peppercorns

• Add to a bowl

• Stir in the turmeric, cayenne, mustard, paprika and garlic powders

• Crumble in the dried thyme, sage and marjoram and combine thoroughly
  
  

Store your hamburger seasoning in an airtight jar out of direct sunlight. Use within 3 months.

Note: If you have a few minutes to spare, toasting the fennel, coriander, mustard and peppercorns before cooling and grinding will add even more flavours to your finished blend which will make your homemade burgers even tastier!

Ingredient Note: I use a few whole ingredients as these will add the best flavours to your home cooking. If you don't have them all whole simply use pre-ground powders and reduce the quantities by half. So instead of 2 tablespoons of fennel seeds you use 1 tablespoon of pre-ground fennel. Do the same for all the ingredients you don't have whole and stir in with the other powders when making.

How Much to Use...

Homemade Hamburger Seasoning

I recommend that you use 2 tablespoons of the mix for each pound of ground meat. So the above is enough for about 4 pounds of meat. 

And, if you have more hamburgers or sausages to assemble, just make more of the seasoning by simply doubling or trebling the quantities of each ingredient that you use in the recipe.
