This is a simple, basic burger seasoning made with optional minced dried onion and a variety of seasonings.

When you're ready to use, mix the seasoning into the ground beef or sprinkle over the burgers as you cook. It's great for grilled, broiled, or pan-fried burgers. As well as these ​juicy baked burgers. 

If you're not feeling burgers, but still want to incorporate it with ground meat, we suggest using it to season in your favorite meatloaf or meatball mixture.
