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.

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

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)

Steps:

  • In a bowl, mix together the first 16 ingredients.
  • Add ground beef and mix well.
  • Shape into 8 patties.
  • Broil or grill until no longer pink.
  • Serve on buns with desired condiments.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ground beef: The quality of the beef will greatly impact the taste of your burgers. Look for ground chuck or sirloin that is at least 80% lean.
  • Season the beef liberally: Don't be shy with the seasonings! Cajun seasoning is a must, but you can also add other spices like garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
  • Form the patties gently: Overworking the beef will make the burgers tough. Gently form the patties into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
  • Cook the burgers over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the burgers while keeping the inside juicy.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you're cooking multiple burgers, make sure to give them enough space so that they can cook evenly.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness: Medium-rare is 135 degrees Fahrenheit, medium is 145 degrees Fahrenheit, and well-done is 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the burgers rest before serving: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the burgers, making them even more flavorful.

Conclusion:

These authentic Cajun hamburgers are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. With their bold flavors and juicy texture, these burgers are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a great burger recipe, give these Cajun hamburgers a try!
