Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef (raw)
  • 1-1/2 Tbsp sugar
  • 1-1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 3/4 tsp black pepper
  • 3/4 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp mustard powder
  • 1/4 tsp (dried) thyme

Notes

Measure everything except the beef into a bowl and mix well.
With your (preferably gloved) hands, mix the seasonings into the raw beef until evenly distributed.
Divide and form into patties, and sauté or grill until done (internal temperature of 160 degrees).
(If you prefer, you can brown this like plain beef, instead, and use the crumbles in omelettes, etc.  But that probably isn't how you want to prepare it for a summer picnic.)
