Time 1h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1/2 cup prepared mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
1 teaspoon hot sauce, or more if desired
5 cornichons, diced
1 green onion, white and pale green part, finely chopped
1 tablespoon finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/2 pounds ground chuck
2 tablespoons canola oil, plus more for brushing
8 paper thin slices pepper jack cheese
4 buns, split
8 slices thinly sliced tasso ham
1 red onion, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch thick slices

Steps:

  • Mayonnaise:
  • Whisk together the mayonnaise, mustards, hot sauce, cornichons, green onion and parsley in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  • Burger:
  • Stir together the paprika, pepper, salt, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder and cayenne in a small bowl.
  • Mold the meat into patties. Brush with oil, season both sides with salt. Sprinkle 1 side of each patty with the spice mixture, making sure to rub the spices into the meat, then drizzle with oil before grilling.
  • Preheat grill to high.
  • Heat the 2 tablespoons of oil in a cast iron skillet on top of the grates of the grill until it begins to shimmer. If using cast iron pan, place the burger in the pan and cook until slightly charred and the spices have formed a crust, about 1 1/2 minutes (be careful not to burn the spices.) Turn the burger over, lower the heat to medium and continue cooking to desired doneness. If using a grill, grill the burgers on the grates of the grill for about same amount of time. Top each burger with 2 slices of cheese during the last 30 seconds of cooking, until cheese is melted.
  • Put the burgers on the buns, top with the ham, some of the onions and some of the mayonnaise sauce and potato chips. Use a skewer to hold the burger together.

LOUISIANA BURGER

This was created by Lafayette, LA resident, George Graham and was a finalist in the Sutter Home Build a Better Burger Contest. It was called Bluesiana burger with zydeco sauce, Mardi Gras slaw and root beer glaze. However, I've posted all those recipes separately because they're all great on their own. See separately these recipes or for the best burger, brush this patty with Root beer glaze, spread the buns with Zydaco Sauce, and top with Mardi Gras Slaw!

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lbs ground chuck, freshly ground
1 tablespoon Tabasco sauce
1/4 cup green onion, finely chopped
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
vegetable oil, for brushing on the grill rack
6 good-quality hamburger buns, split
1/2 cup melted butter

Steps:

  • Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill with a cover, or preheat a gas grill to medium-high.
  • For the patties, place the ground chuck in a large bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour prior to using. Add the pepper sauce, green onions, salt, and pepper. Handling the meat as little as possible to avoid compacting it, mix well. Quickly shape the beef mixture into 6 round, equally-sized patties.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and set aside until ready to grill.
  • Brush the grill rack with oil.
  • Place the patties on the grill, cover, and cook, turning once, until done to preference, 5 to 7 minutes on each side for medium.
  • Meanwhile, brush the melted butter on the top and bottom buns.
  • Position the buns, cut side down, on the outer edges of the grill for the last 2 minutes of grilling to toast lightly.
  • When the patties are cooked, remove from the grill and keep warm while resting.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Season the burger patties liberally with salt and pepper.
  • Cook the burger patties over medium-high heat to get a nice sear.
  • Don't overcook the burger patties, or they will become dry and tough.
  • Top the burgers with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, and pickles.
  • Serve the burgers immediately with your favorite sides, such as fries, onion rings, or coleslaw.
