Cajun Burger With Spicy Southwest Sauce
- Cajun Mayo
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon cajun seasoning (Luzianne Cajun Seasoning)
- 1 tablespoon barbecue sauce (Sweet Baby Rays)
- Cajun Burger
- 1/2 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 cup yellow onion, diced
- 1/2 garlic clove, minced
- 1 serrano pepper, most of the seeds removed and minced
- 1 1/2 lbs hamburger (70/30)
- 1 tablespoon cajun seasoning
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
- Cajun Mayo:
- Prepare the Cajun mayo by combining the mayo, Cajun seasoning, and BBQ sauce and stir. Taste and adjust (like your grandma always told you), then set aside.
- Pre-Heat Grill on High.
- Burgers:
- Heat a small pan over medium high heat.
- Add the pat of butter to the pan and melt.
- Add the onions and saute 2-3 minutes stir often.
- Add the peppers and continue to saute 1-2 minutes.
- Add the garlic and saute until fragrant.
- Remove the onion, pepper, garlic mixture from heat allow to cool (Stick it in the freezer if your stomach is growling!).
- Put the onion mixture into a large non-reactive bowl.
- Tear the hamburger into small pieces and place in the same bowl.
- Add the Worcestershire sauce.
- Sprinkle 1/2 of the tbsp of Cajun seasoning over the meat and mix gently but thoroughly with your hands. (No pockets of seasoning please!).
- Sprinkle the remaining Cajun seasoning and remix careful to not over work the meat.
- Form into patties slightly larger than your buns.
- Grilling:
- Place the burgers on the grill and listen to it sear the meat.
- Reduce the heat to medium / medium high and continue cooking with the lid closed until the burgers are done to your liking flipping once.
- Add the cheese shortly after the flip to get a really good melt (Important for thick slices of cheese).
- Remember meat tastes better if not over cooked and the temperature will rise another 3-5 degrees after pulling the burgers from the grill. Cooking by temperature is the only way to get consistent results. I like to pull my burgers at 145-150 degrees.
