- 1 tablespoon sweet paprika
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and ground pork. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, sweet paprika, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In a small bowl, dissolve the baking soda in the water, then add this mixture to the meat mixture. Mix well until fully combined and slightly sticky.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
