AUTHENTIC CAJUN HAMBURGERS

Steps:

• Remove sausage from the casing & combine both meats in a bowl. Add the remaining ingredients & mix well. Let the mixture rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hr for seasonings to "work".
• Form hamburger patties as usual & make them about 3/4" larger than the bun. The burgers will shrink, so doing this will give you a "bun-fitting" hamburger patty.
• Cook hamburgers on high heat on ea side for about 1 minute. Then finish them on a med low heat till done (An internal temp of 160F is recommended by the USDA).
• When done, spray them on both sides w/a water mist & sprinkle a little salt on them. Serve immediately.
• If not serving immediately, put the patties in a pan w/only enough water to cover the bottom. Keep them covered so they don't dry out. Doing all of this will give you a slightly moister hamburger patty.

CAJUN BURGER WITH SPICY SOUTHWEST SAUCE

• Add the pat of butter to the pan and melt.
• Add the onions and sauté 2-3 minutes stir often.
• Add the peppers and continue to sauté 1-2 minutes.
• Add the garlic and sauté 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.
