Categories     Dinner     Lunch     Sandwich

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 22

For the Seasoning:
2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 1/2 tablespoons oregano
1 tablespoon dried onion powder
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons dried thyme
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
For the Sauce:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 green onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon hot sauce (e.g., Frank's, Texas Pete, Tabasco )
1 teaspoon dill relish
3/4 teaspoon Cajun seasoning, or to taste
For the Burgers:
1 1/2 pounds ground beef (80/20 or 85/15)
1/3 cup finely minced onion
2 cloves garlic, pressed
1 1/2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
Sandwich buns, burger toppings, optional

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • In a small bowl, combine the paprika, garlic powder, oregano, onion powder, kosher salt, thyme, and the black and cayenne peppers. Stir to combine. Transfer the mixture to a jar with a lid.
  • In another small bowl, combine the mayonnaise with the finely chopped green onion, Dijon mustard, hot sauce, and dill relish. Add 3/4 teaspoon of the Cajun seasoning (or to taste). Cover and refrigerate the remoulade until serving time.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, minced onion, pressed garlic, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of the Cajun seasoning mixture. Mix to blend thoroughly.

Refrigerate the burgers until it is time to cook. Store the remaining Cajun seasoning in a cool, dark place.
  • Heat the grill to medium-high heat. When the grill is hot, brush the grate with olive oil or canola oil. Place the burgers on the grill, indentation side up and grill for about 5 minutes. Carefully flip the burgers and continue grilling for about 4 to 5 minutes longer, or until the burgers register 160 F, the minimum safe temperature recommended by the USDA.
  • Transfer the burgers to a plate or rack and tent with foil. Let them rest for 5 minutes.
  • Assemble the burgers on buns with your choice of toppings, along with a generous amount of remoulade sauce.

FULLY-LOADED CAJUN CHICKEN BURGERS



Fully-Loaded Cajun Chicken Burgers image

These delicious burgers make a nice change from the more conventional beef burger. So simple to prepare and really tasty too! Obviously you don't need to use the bacon, cheese, avocado etc, but it is rather nice with them all included!

Provided by Noo8820

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 slices smoked bacon
2 avocados
4 ciabatta rolls
4 slices cheese, choose your favourite
baby spinach leaves, 4 small handfuls
mayonnaise, to serve (optional)
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon paprika

Steps:

  • Mix the Cajun seasoning ingredients together with a good grinding of black pepper and a sprinkling of salt. Set aside in a large dish.
  • Gently flatten out the chicken (bash it gently with a rolling pin between two pieces of cling film), then drizzle with half of the oil and toss into the seasoning until completely coated.
  • Heat the remaining oil in a large frying pan. Sizzle the chicken for 5 minutes on each side, until firm. Push to one side of the pan, then fry the bacon for a few minutes until cooked (of course you could always grill it!).
  • While the chicken is cooking, halve, stone, peel and slice the avocados. Cut the ciabattas in half and toast the cut side of the buns. Cover the tops of the buns with cheese and grill until melted.
  • Spread the bottom half of the bun with mayo (if using). Top with a handful of spinach, then a rasher of bacon. To keep the avocado in place, slice the chicken then alternate between a slice of avocado and chicken (I just cut almost through the chicken and push a slice of avocado into it).
  • Top with the bun with melted cheese,press down lightly and serve with your favourite fries and salad!

Provided by Tayo Ola

Categories     Dinner

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 ½ lb boneless beef check roast, cut into 1 (2.54 cm) in cubes
3 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
2 teaspoons neutral oil, such as canola
1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
½ yellow onion, diced
2 stalks celery, siced
3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1 cup diced tomato, drained
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons Frank's RedHot® Original Cayenne Pepper Hot Sauce, plus more for drizzling
1 tablespoon McCormick Cajun Seasoning
nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup grits
2 cups whole milk, plus more as needed
2 cups water
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
scallion, thinly sliced, for garnish

Steps:

  • Make the beef: Season the beef with 2 teaspoons of salt.
  • Heat the oil in an Instant Pot on "Sauté" mode. Add the beef and sear on all sides, using tongs to turn the meat, 7-9 minutes total. Remove the beef from the Instant Pot and set aside.
  • Add the bell pepper, onion, celery, and garlic to the Instant Pot and sauté for 5 minutes, until softened. Stir in the tomatoes, tomato paste, Frank's RedHot® Original Cayenne Pepper Hot Sauce, McCormick Cajun Seasoning, and the remaining teaspoon of salt.
  • Return the beef to the Instant Pot and stir well. Put the lid on the Instant Pot, set the pressure valve to "Sealing," and pressure-cook for 50 minutes.
  • Turn the pressure valve to "Venting" to release the pressure quickly. (Be sure to read all Instant Pot instructions carefully for safety.) Carefully remove the lid.
  • Remove the beef mixture from the Instant Pot and set aside. Clean the Instant Pot insert.
  • Make the grits: Generously coat the Instant Pot insert with nonstick spray. Add the butter and melt on "Sauté" mode. Add the grits and cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes, until fragrant. Whisk in the milk, water, and salt. Bring mixture to a simmer, then whisk well.
  • Put the lid on the Instant Pot, set the pressure valve to "Sealing," and pressure-cook for 10 minutes.
  • Let pressure naturally release for 15 minutes, then turn the pressure valve to "Venting" to release the rest of the pressure. Carefully remove the lid.
  • Carefully hold the Instant Pot with an oven mitt and use a silicone spatula or wooden spoon to move the grits around and release from the bottom of the pot, then whisk well to incorporate.
  • Stir in the cheddar cheese. Let cheese melt for 1 minute, then stir again. (If the grits get too thick before serving, stir in a bit of milk to loosen.)
  • To serve, spoon the grits into shallow bowls. Scoop the beef mixture on top. Drizzle with Frank's RedHot® and garnish with the scallions.
  • Enjoy!
