How to use it
For every pound of meat, I recommend 1 Tablespoon of this seasoning. There are no best ways to season ground beef, as you can never go wrong if you season the meat correctly. It doesn't matter in which order the seasoning is added. The seasoning can be added to meat before browning it or after you brown it.
That being said, if you are using ground meat with a fight fat content, then the best wat to season is after you browned the meat and drained the fat. You can use as much seasoning as you desired and even customize it to taste.
For example, if it is Taco Tuesday night, add chili seasoning and ground cumin to the spice blend. If you are making a pasta dish or Italian meatballs then the addition of Italian seasoning or herbs de Provence to this spice blend will definitely elevate the flavor to a whole new level.
The possibilities with this all purpose ground beef seasoning are endless so don't be afraid to experiment.
It can be used as a dry rub for grilled, pan-fried or roasted meats. Add it to breadcrumbs for a delicious coating for your meat, chicken or seafood. And in case you are wondering if this will work with vegetables, then the answer is 'YES.' It will add a nice flavor to roasted veggies like carrots, potatoes, broccoli and cauliflower.
