The Original Burger Recipe
The original Cold Smoked Salt and Pepper CO.
We all eagerly await that time of year when the cold, dreary days of winter begin to fade away and the call to fire up the grill becomes too strong. Or perhaps your grill never cools, even during the fiercest squalls of wintertime. Whichever way you roll, we’re right there with you. But nothing says welcome to spring and summer more than a fresh, hot burger right off the grill.
If you’re like us, you know where to find the best burgers - whether it’s at a local downtown restaurant or with your old roommate who just happens to be a chef and knows how to dish out the tastiest burgers around. Yet the age old question remains - how do you replicate that one-of-a-kind flavor on your own backyard grill? We’ve often wondered this ourselves, because when that moment hits, you want that perfect burger, but you don’t want to break the bank in the process.
So we knew we had to finally solve this backyard quandary and man, did we come up with our own very simple, yet intensely flavorful seasoning blend that includes our own Mesquite Smoked Kentucky Bourbon Peppercorn, Mesquite Smoked Paprika, Maple Smoked Cayenne Pepper, and Whiskey Smoked Sea Salt from The Original Cold Smoked Salt and Pepper Company.
Gather your ingredients listed below and mix in a small bowl.
- 1/2 tsp Mesquite Smoked Paprika
- 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/4 tsp Mesquite Smoked Kentucky Bourbon Peppercorn
- 1/8 tsp Maple Smoked Cayenne Pepper
- 1/2 tsp Whiskey Smoked Sea Salt
- 2 Tbsp Brown Sugar
Sprinkle the seasoning blend on either side of the hamburger patties or even veggie burgers. Both yield great results. Reserve a portion of the seasoning to re-season as you grill. Cook low and slow or char to your desired preference. Either way, the end result will keep the grill fired up in the backyard all year long.
