How to Make Andouille Beef Burgers With Blue Cheese

1. **Make the Spicy Mayo:** In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon chopped pickled jalapeños, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.
2. **Prepare the Burger Patties:** In a large bowl, gently combine 1.5 lbs ground beef, 1/2 cup chopped andouille sausage, 1/4 cup chopped pecans, 1/4 cup finely chopped onion, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Form the mixture into 6 patties, each about 1/2 inch thick.
3. **Sauté the Onions:** Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup thinly sliced yellow onion and 2 cloves minced garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden brown (about 5-7 minutes). Add 1 tablespoon brown sugar during the last minute of cooking. Set aside.
4. **Cook the Burgers:** Heat the same skillet over high heat. Add the burger patties and cook for 4 minutes per side, or until browned. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for an additional 5 minutes for medium-rare, or longer for desired doneness.
5. **Melt the Blue Cheese:** Flip the burgers, distribute 1 ounce crumbled blue cheese evenly over each patty, cover, and cook until the cheese is melted and gooey (about 2-3 minutes).
6. **Assemble the Burgers:** Spread the spicy mayo on the bottom bun. Top with the sautéed onions, a burger patty, and the top bun.
7. **Serve Immediately:** Enjoy your delicious Andouille Beef Burgers with Blue Cheese and Pecans!
