4. Homemade Burger Seasoning Mix
Ingredients:
2 tbsp paprika (regular or smoked)
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp onion powder
2 tsp salt
2 tsp black pepper
1½ tsp brown sugar (optional, for caramelization)
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp dried parsley
½ tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for a little kick)
½ tsp mustard powder (optional, adds tang)
Instructions:
1. Mix all ingredients in a small bowl until evenly combined.
2. Store in an airtight jar or spice container.

Add a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the meat for an even juicier burger.
Great sprinkled on roasted potatoes or fries too.

3. Use 1–2 teaspoons per pound of meat, seafood, or veggies — or sprinkle as needed.
Tips:
Add a bit of brown sugar if you like a sweet-spicy flavor (especially good on grilled shrimp).
Try it as a rub for blackened chicken or fish, or stir into butter for Cajun garlic bread.
6. Homemade Fajita Seasoning Mix
Ingredients:
1 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp paprika (smoked if you like that extra depth)

½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
Instructions:

Works great on rice, roasted veggies, or even popcorn if you want a zesty snack.
