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.

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

AUTHENTIC CAJUN HAMBURGERS



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)

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

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.
