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.
  • With your hands of a burger press, shape the meat mixture into four burgers. Each burger will weigh approximately 6 ounces. With your thumb, make an indentation in the center of each burger. 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.

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)

Provided by twissis

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.
