ALL AMERICAN CAJUN BURGER
What a great burger! Rib-eye meat makes the burger really moist and it oozes with melty cheese inside and out. There's a crunch from the lettuce. The sweet, spicy, and savory relish combined with the spicy remoulade pumps up the flavors in this burger. Not your run-of-the-mill burger recipe.

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

- Add ground beef and mix well.
- Shape into 8 patties.
- Broil or grill until no longer pink.

Tips:
- Quality Ingredients Matter: Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Ground chuck or sirloin is recommended for the patties, and use a good-quality Cajun seasoning blend. Fresh vegetables and a soft, fluffy bun will elevate the burger.
- Season and Cook the Patties Perfectly: Season the patties liberally with the Cajun seasoning blend, ensuring even distribution. Cook the patties over medium-high heat to get a nice sear on the outside while keeping them juicy on the inside. Use a meat thermometer to ensure they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or adjust the cooking time for your desired doneness.
- Build Your Burger with Care: Layer the burger with your favorite toppings. Start with a toasted bun, add a layer of Cajun mayo, then the juicy patty, crispy bacon, melted cheese, crisp lettuce, ripe tomato, and red onion. For an extra kick, add a few pickled jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce.
- Experiment with Variations: Feel free to customize your All-American Cajun Burger to your liking. Try different cheese options like pepper jack or cheddar, or add a layer of sautéed mushrooms or grilled pineapple. You can also use different types of bread, such as a brioche bun or a pretzel roll.
