First off Holly, THANK YOU for all the work you put into all these delicious recipes! All your extra info is above & beyond . 1question, I was curious how your Homemade Hamburger Seasoning says servings: 16, step 2 in recipe it says to use 2tsp per pound of beef, but at end of recipe it says makes approx 3Tbsp of seasoning? How are the servings calculated?
You’re so very welcome Gina! Each serving is approximately 1/2 teaspoon (2 teaspoons would make 4 burgers). Hope that helps. Enjoy the seasoning!
