🥘 Ingredients

16 items

• 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

• 4 pieces hamburger buns
• 4 pieces lettuce leaves
• 4 pieces tomato slices
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

📝 Instructions

6 steps

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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).

5. Lightly toast the hamburger buns in the same skillet or on the grill for 1-2 minutes, until golden and warm.

6. 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.
