Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1.5 tablespoons Creole seasoning
- 0.25 cup green bell pepper, finely diced
- 0.25 cup red onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.25 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 0.5 teaspoon hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon pickled relish
- 4 pieces hamburger buns
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 4 pieces tomato slices
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, 1 tablespoon of Creole seasoning, green bell pepper, red onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, and beaten egg. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overwork the meat.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties, about 1/2-inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.
In a small bowl, prepare the remoulade sauce by whisking together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, hot sauce, 1/2 tablespoon Creole seasoning, and pickled relish. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness (160°F for medium).
Lightly toast the hamburger buns in the same skillet or on the grill for 1-2 minutes, until golden and warm.
Assemble the burgers: spread the remoulade sauce generously on the bottom half of each bun, then top with a lettuce leaf, a cooked patty, and a slice of tomato. Place the top bun on and serve immediately.
