How to Make Authentic Cajun Hamburgers

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground beef, 1/2 cup finely chopped onion, 1/4 cup finely chopped green bell pepper, 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Gently mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  2. Shape the meat mixture into 4 equal-sized patties, about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from bulging during cooking.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired level of doneness.
  4. During the last minute of cooking, add 1/4 cup of butter to the skillet and baste the patties with the melted butter to enhance their flavor and create a delicious crust.
  5. Toast your hamburger buns lightly.
  6. Assemble the burgers with your favorite toppings. Some suggestions include lettuce, tomato, pickles, onion, and your favorite Cajun remoulade sauce.
