CAJUN BURGER WITH SPICY SOUTHWEST SAUCE



Cajun Burger With Spicy Southwest Sauce image

This is the best homemade burger I have ever eaten. We are not fans of garlic but we love Worcestershire sauce and we prefer flavor over health consciousness. By following this recipe you will get just a hint of garlic, mild spice, and a lot of Worcestershire flavor. If you like to really taste your garlic then you will need to add more. If you like spicy leave more seeds or increase the number of peppers and last but not least, if you are not a fan of Worcestershire sauce then cut back to 1 tbsp. If you want to be health conscious then use a lower fat meat but really watch your cooking time or it will be dry and lose a lot of flavor. In fact, if you go with sirloin or round I would suggest adding two pieces of white bread (crust removed) soaked in milk to your mix to retain moisture. My kids are VERY picky eaters and they love these burgers. (Take that McDonalds!)

Time 30m

Yield 5-6 Burgers, 5-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon cajun seasoning (Luzianne Cajun Seasoning)
1 tablespoon barbecue sauce (Sweet Baby Rays)
1/2 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup yellow onion, diced
1/2 garlic clove, minced
1 serrano pepper, most of the seeds removed and minced
1 1/2 lbs hamburger (70/30)
1 tablespoon cajun seasoning
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • Cajun Mayo:.
  • Prepare the Cajun mayo by combining the mayo, Cajun seasoning, and BBQ sauce and stir. Taste and adjust (like your grandma always told you), then set aside.
  • Pre-Heat Grill on High.
  • Burgers:.
  • Heat a small pan over medium high heat.
  • Add the pat of butter to the pan and melt.
  • Add the onions and sauté 2-3 minutes stir often.
  • Add the peppers and continue to sauté 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant.
  • Remove the onion, pepper, garlic mixture from heat allow to cool (Stick it in the freezer if your stomach is growling!).
  • Put the onion mixture into a large non-reactive bowl.
  • Tear the hamburger into small pieces and place in the same bowl.
  • Add the Worcestershire sauce.
  • Sprinkle 1/2 of the tbsp of Cajun seasoning over the meat and mix gently but thoroughly with your hands. (No pockets of seasoning please!).
  • Sprinkle the remaining Cajun seasoning and remix careful to not over work the meat.
  • Form into patties slightly larger than your buns.
  • Grilling:.
  • Place the burgers on the grill and listen to it sear the meat.
  • Reduce the heat to medium / medium high and continue cooking with the lid closed until the burgers are done to your liking flipping once.
  • Add the cheese shortly after the flip to get a really good melt (Important for thick slices of cheese).
  • Remember meat tastes better if not over cooked and the temperature will rise another 3-5 degrees after pulling the burgers from the grill. Cooking by temperature is the only way to get consistent results. I like to pull my burgers at 145-150 degrees.

CAJUN BURGERS

Meet the Cook: My family likes its food spicy. I found the original recipe for these burgers in a cookbook, then added and subtracted ingredients until they suited our taste. Cajun Burgers are always on the menu whenever we have company over for a backyard cookout. Like my husband, I was raised in the country. We have four children (20, 16, 13 and 9) and now a grandson, too! -Julie Culbertson, Bansalem, Pennsylvania

CAJUN SPICED BURGERS



Cajun Spiced Burgers image

Beef burgers get a big flavor boost here from Cajun seasoning, while the classic trinity of Creole cuisine (onions, bell peppers, and celery) makes an appearance as well. Our burger blend of choice is 80% lean ground beef-it has the perfect ratio of juiciness to flavor.
