Recipe

• 1 so i might be the last one on the planet to do it this way --
• 2 in the past, i've seasoned hamburger patties on the grill -- while they were grilling. and while it works, it wasn't going to work for me last weekend when we were having a bunch of family over for dinner. i wanted to prep as much as i could ahead of time so that i could enjoy them while they were at our house, instead of running around my kitchen like a chicken without a head (sorry, bad visual!) -- so this is what happened.
• 3 as i was getting everything out, i though, "why not season the bottom of the cookie sheet first so that both sides of the patties can be grilled before they hit the grill?".
• 4 so that's what i did. sprinkle seasoning on the cookie sheet. make patties and then put them on top of the seasoning and move around a little to "catch it all" and waste as little as possible. sprinkle more on top and voila.
• 5 ready for the grill. (or refrigerator, in my case -- as i was making them up early in the afternoon long before everyone arrived. this is what happens when there is a baby in the house -- you get stuff done while they are sleeping, even if that means making dinner at 2pm!).
• 6 and while i didn't get all scientific about it, it seemed to me that the seasoning stuck to the burger better and less fell through into the grill!
• 7 how about you? how do you season hamburger patties?
