How to Make Cajun Cool Cheeseburgers

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, and 1/4 cup chopped green onions. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs, 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, and 1 large egg, lightly beaten.
  4. Gently mix in 1 pound ground beef until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a 1/2-inch-thick patty.
  6. Lightly grease the grill grates with cooking spray or oil.
  7. Place patties on the preheated grill. Grill for 5 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired doneness.
  8. Sprinkle each burger evenly with the cheese mixture during the last 2 minutes of grilling.
  9. Place burger buns, cut-side down, on the grill for 1 minute to lightly toast.
  10. Place a cooked patty on the bottom half of each bun.
  11. Top each burger with 1/4 cup shredded lettuce, 3 tablespoons chopped red onion, and the top bun.
