These Cajun-style burgers bring a flavorful twist to your classic hamburger, perfect for a hearty meal.
Combine the ground beef and sausage in a mixing bowl.
Ensure the meats are evenly mixed for consistent flavor.
Add the Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, garlic powder, onion, bell pepper, egg, and Cajun seasoning to the meat mixture and mix thoroughly.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat, which can make the burgers tough.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld.
Chilling helps the mixture firm up, making it easier to form patties.
Form the mixture into burger patties slightly larger than your buns.
Press a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.
Cook the patties on a hot grill or skillet for about 4 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
Avoid pressing down on the patties while cooking to retain their juices.
Serve the burgers immediately on buns with your favorite toppings.
Pair with a side of coleslaw or fries for a complete meal.
