How to Make Bacon Ranch Cajun Baby Cheeseburgers For Zwt 9
- **Make the Cajun Seasoning:** In a small bowl, combine 1 tbsp paprika, 1 tsp cayenne pepper, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp salt. Mix well.
- **Prepare the Burger Mixture:** In a large bowl, gently combine 1 lb ground beef, 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning (from step 1 or store-bought), 1 tbsp hot sauce (your choice!), and 2 cloves minced garlic. Mix until just combined; avoid overmixing.
- **Form the Patties:** Shape the mixture into 8 equal-sized patties (about 3 inches in diameter).
- **Cook the Patties:** Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties in batches, about 3-4 minutes per side, until browned and cooked to your desired doneness.
- **Melt the Cheese:** Place 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese) on top of each burger during the last minute of cooking.
- **Toast the Buns:** Once the cheese is melted, remove the burgers and set aside to keep warm. Place the burger buns, cut-side down, in the same skillet and toast for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.
- **Assemble the Burgers:** Spread 2 tbsp ranch dressing on the inside of each toasted bun. Layer the bottom bun with a handful of arugula, a cooked burger patty, a tomato slice, and a half-slice of cooked bacon.
- **Serve Immediately:** Close with the top bun and serve immediately. Enjoy!
