I love the intro. Here in South Louisiana we're always taking the usual & making it unusually good. Homemade hamburgers are subject to this treatment. We'll twist this one up some & see if we can make our taste buds smile the Cajun way. (Time does not include refrigeration time). Ingredients:
2 1/2 lbs ground beef |
1/2 lb pork 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 |
Directions:
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.
