Frozen Hamburger Seasoning Recipe

This frozen hamburger seasoning has great flavor from smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, black pepper and garlic and onion powder. Sprinkle it directly onto the frozen patties, then grill or cook in the oven or on the stovetop.

Seasoning ingredients and notes:

Note that this seasoning is quite spicy! If you want less heat, use less crushed red pepper flakes.

How to use the seasoning:

• Remove the patties from the freezer and separate them. (Use a spatula to separate them if they're sticking together.)
• Let the frozen patties sit at room temperature for a few minutes until they're starting to thaw on the surface. (As shown in the photo below.) This will help the seasoning stick to the beef.
• Evenly sprinkle the seasoning onto both sides of the patty, then cook on the stovetop, the grill or in the oven. Let the cooked beef patties rest for 5 minutes, then serve on buns with your favorite toppings. (For a great sauce to spread on the burgers, check out this spicy hamburger sauce!)
