I will salt ahead of time on the outside only, but have gone to anything plant based like pepper/paprika/garlic etc. only after removal from the heat. I have learned I do not like burned plant matter.

I mix finely chopped onions and usually a Cajun seasoning into the meat. Once formed, I’ll season both sides with salt and pepper.

Salt and pepper is all a good burger needs. I like a fresh grind though, it makes all the difference in the world and cheaper than buying ground meat.

I season the outside of one side before hitting the hot surface. Season the uncooked side that's still up before I flip it. I do kosher salt/pepper, but certainly wouldn't be opposed to other seasonings. I don't mix anything into my meat. I handle it as little as possible.


This.

Sometimes I’ll do killer hogs AP seasoning.

Don’t salt before.

MSG and smoked salt

Fresh cracked pepper AFTER the burger is off the grill/griddle/cast iron.

What LL says. Also, I like some grind with a little fat (20-25%) because I like the flavor from the fat in my burger.

Season black pepper and Lawry's Garlic Salt, then just a touch of salt, since Lawry's is somewhat salty already.

I love Lawreys seasoned salt on my burgers and steak. I know its not flashy but I think its good.

Normally just grinded salt and pepper, but Guga food had me try French onion dip seasoning. It’s actually pretty good.

Make a meatball of your favorite meat, get a flat top hot as hell, smash it down then give it a little salt and pepper. Wait for a little crust on the outside of the patty and flip it. It’s pretty hard to mess up a burger the way it should be cooked.

I spent most of my life as a salt and pepper guy but maybe it is watching Guga by I have started trying a lot of different stuff on hamburger and steak and have a spice mix I use a lot that is similar to the above.

Kosher salt
paprika
cayenne
onion powder
I add dill seed and coriander and use fresh ground pepper and fresh minced garlic.

I also put a pat of compound butter on top with rosemary, thyme, and parsley.

It sounds like way too much but it has pretty much everyone asking for my recipe. I still enjoy a S&P burger but I have learned there is a whole world of flavor out there that I had been chasing with toppings instead of addressing the patty itself.

Nunu’s seasoning if doing cast iron.

If in the smoker barrel on hot grates over coals/wood, then some dashes of whoozy sauce with the Nunu’s for added moisture internally.

What are your go to burger seasonings?


BBQ rub
BBQ sauce
Minced Garlic
Worcestshire
Liquid Smoke

Mix all this in with the meat before I make the patties.

Once the patties are made I put cracked pepper on each side.

Back when I grilled with charcoal, I would form patties and season with salt and pepper, maybe a little garlic. Or some store bought burger/beef blend seasoning. Kinder's has a decent SPG blend. Now all I ever make are smash burgers. All I use is some kosher salt or Himalayan pink salt. I'll make about 6 balls, salt them while the griddle is warming up, and roll them around on the plate so all sides get seasoned. Sear, smash, wait about 2-3 minutes and flip them. Flip again and add cheese to some and done.
