Southern-inspired Cajun Burgers are packed full of Cajun-Creole goodness! They aren’t all that spicy but it is one of the most delicious burgers I’ve ever had.
This burger is packed with delicious ingredients. A true explosion of mouthwatering flavors!!
I’m always searching for unusual and unique concoctions for a burger. This spicy beef has sauteed onion and peppers along with spices mixed in it. Next, I topped my burger with a spicy remoulade, lettuce, and tomato.
The flavors were bold and perfectly balanced. My whole family enjoyed it and gave it the seal of approval!
Cajun Burgers Tips
- When buying ground beef, select one that has at least 20% fat. It will be labeled 80/20.
- 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 used lean ground beef and pork sausage in this burger.
