Cajun Burgers With Spicy Rémoulade Recipe

• 1 tablespoon ketchup
• 1 tablespoon hot sauce, such as Tabasco
• 2 tablespoons mustard
• 1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley, leaves and tender stems

1. Spread the beef in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet or large plate. Freeze just until the meat begins to get stiff around the edges, about 20 minutes. Working in batches, place 1/3 of the beef in a food processor and pulse until very roughly chopped, about 10 pulses. Add 1/3 of the andouille and continue to pulse until the mixture is finely chopped and the andouille is well distributed, about 10 more short pulses. Repeat with remaining beef and andouille.
2. Gently form meat into 6 patties, each about 1/2 inch wider in diameter than the burger buns. Using your thumb, press a dimple into the center of each patty. Arrange patties on a baking sheet and refrigerate until ready to cook.
