11/7/2025 – This seasoning blend for the ground meat was good but surely can be better so watch for new blends in this post. We blended the ingredients then added to one pound of low fat ground meat and made 4 patties in the press.

1 tsp chipotle powder
1 tsp of smoked paprika
2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1/4 tsp of table salt
1/2 tsp granulated garlic
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp thyme
Big pinch Cayenne pepper

Broke up the ground meat into smallish pieces and sprinkled the blend on as turned them over. Rubbed it in lightly to not mash the meat too much. Made patties in the press and froze them individually on a cookie sheet. Once frozen put them into a ziplock bag with the wax circle from the press still on the bottom so they would stay separate.

Next time increase the salt, cumin and cayenne.
