Time 35m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 onion, chopped
6 green onions, thinly sliced
6 garlic cloves, minced
1 egg
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon dry breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon cream cheese, softened
1/4 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon ground mustard
1/2-1 teaspoon hot sauce
2 lbs ground beef
8 hamburger buns (toasted or grilled)

  • Add ground beef and mix well.
  • Shape into 8 patties.
  • Broil or grill until no longer pink.
  • Serve on buns with desired condiments.

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.
