Authentic Cajun Hamburgers image

This recipe is being posted for ZWT II & my source is cookinglouisiana.com. I love the intro! ... "Here in South Louisiana we're always taking the usual & making it unusually good. Homemade hamburgers are subject to this treatment! We'll twist this one up some & see if we can make our taste buds smile the Cajun way!" (Time does not include refrigeration time)

Time 30m

Yield 6 1/2 lb hamburgers, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 1/2 lbs ground beef
1/2 lb pork sausage (homemade)
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon steak sauce (optional)
2 tablespoons catsup (or BBQ sauce)
3 -4 dashes louisiana hot sauce
3 -4 drops liquid crab boil concentrate
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons creole seasoning
1 medium onion (minced)
1/2 medium bell pepper (minced)
1/4 cup water
2 large eggs

Steps:

  • Remove sausage from the casing & combine both meats in a bowl. Add the remaining ingredients & mix well. Let the mixture rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hr for seasonings to "work".
  • Form hamburger patties as usual & make them about 3/4" larger than the bun. The burgers will shrink, so doing this will give you a "bun-fitting" hamburger patty.
  • Cook hamburgers on high heat on ea side for about 1 minute. Then finish them on a med low heat till done (An internal temp of 160F is recommended by the USDA).
  • When done, spray them on both sides w/a water mist & sprinkle a little salt on them. Serve immediately.
  • If not serving immediately, put the patties in a pan w/only enough water to cover the bottom. Keep them covered so they don't dry out. Doing all of this will give you a slightly moister hamburger patty.
