How to Make a Burger Rub:
- Combine burger rub ingredients in a small bowl. Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the cupboard for up to six months after preparation.
- Sprinkle your desired amount onto patties. I use about 1/4-1/2 teaspoon per burger, depending on size. If making stuffed burgers with bacon, then season them lightly.
- You can also apply the rub with a shaker.
