Copycat McCormick’s Smash Seasoning
Copycat McCormick’s Smash Seasoning captures that classic diner-style burger flavor with a simple, savory blend designed for high-heat griddling and bold beef flavor. It’s endlessly customizable and versatile, working just as well on smash burgers as it does on steaks, potatoes, and flat-top vegetables.
Ingredients
- 5 Tbsp kosher salt or salt substitute
- 3 Tbsp coarse black pepper
- 2½ Tbsp garlic powder
- 3 Tbsp onion powder
- 1½ tsp celery seed
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch
Instructions
- Whisk everything together extremely well so the cornstarch and sugar are fully dispersed. Funnel into a half-pint mason jar, seal, and shake like you mean it.
- How to Use (Smash-Approved)
- Smash burgers: Season after smashing on the hot griddle
- Steaks: Light sprinkle right before cooking
- Flat-top potatoes or onions: Season as they hit the surface
- Chicken: Keep it light—this blend is assertive
