Authentic Cajun Hamburgers

Total Time: 30 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 lbs ground beef
• 1/2 lb lamb sausage (homemade)
• 1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon steak sauce (optional)
• 2 tablespoons catsup (or bbq sauce)
• 3 -4 dashes louisiana hot sauce
• 3 -4 drops liquid crab boil concentrate
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons creole seasoning
• 1 medium onion (minced)
• 1/2 medium bell pepper (minced)
• 1/4 cup water
• 2 large eggs

Recipe

• 1 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".
• 2 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.
• 3 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).
• 4 when done, spray them on both sides w/a water mist & sprinkle a little salt on them. serve immediately.
• 5 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.
