Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 4 oz Andouille sausage
- 0.5 cup green bell pepper, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
- 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 4 pieces brioche burger buns
- 2 tbsp butter, softened
- 4 pieces sharp cheddar cheese slices
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato, sliced
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp hot sauce
- 2 tsp sweet pickle relish
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped Andouille sausage, green bell pepper, onion, garlic, Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix until evenly combined, but avoid overworking the meat.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties, about 3/4 inch thick. Press a slight indent in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.
In a small bowl, prepare the remoulade sauce by stirring together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, hot sauce, sweet pickle relish, and lemon juice. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Heat a cast iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the surface with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
Cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for well-done. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.
While the patties cook, butter the inside of the brioche buns and toast them on a skillet or grill until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
Assemble the burgers by spreading a generous amount of the remoulade sauce on the bottom half of each toasted bun.
Place a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, and the cooked burger patty topped with melted cheddar onto the bun. Add more sauce on top if desired, then finish with the top bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as fries or a side salad. Enjoy your Creole Burger!
