Notes
- You can substitute oregano, thyme, and rosemary with 1 tablespoon of mixed Italian herbs.
- Use the best-quality paprika you can afford. When it comes to paprika, it really makes a difference; the cheapest paprika has no flavor at all; it just feels like dust.
- I always use sweet smoked paprika for this blend. If you use hot smoked paprika, leave out the pepper flakes, or the ground beef seasoning might be too hot.
- The recipe is developed using fine sea salt. If using table salt, use a bit less, or the mixture might be too salty.
