Why Make Your Own Burger Seasoning?

Sure, you can buy pre made spice blends, but here is why you should be making your own:

  • Saves money in the long run

  • Avoids unnecessary additives

  • Lets you tweak the flavor to suit your family

  • Tastes way better than store-bought

I use this on everything from beef patties to turkey burgers, veggie burgers, grilled veggies, and roasted potatoes. It’s a smoky, savory, and slightly sweet blend.
