Cajun Burgers Recipe Tips
- First, when buying ground beef, select one that has at least 20% fat. It will be labeled 80/20.
- I used ground beef and pork sausage in this burger for the most flavor. You can just use beef if you prefer.
- Next, when forming the patties, handle the meat minimally and don’t compress the meat.
- And don’t press the meat when cooking it. You’ll press out all that flavor and moisture! Fat equals flavor and moisture and will produce juicy burgers. Extra-lean meats produce dense and dry burgers.
- You can always adjust the seasoning to your liking. I use this brand.
- I just love this quick and easy Remoulade Sauce. Mix it while burgers are cooking or earlier in the day. Trust me, if you have it made up you’ll find many ways to enjoy it.
I cooked my burgers on the stove, but you can also grill.
