A flavorful twist on classic burgers with a spicy Cajun kick.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, Cajun seasoning, onion, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
Avoid overmixing the beef mixture to keep the patties tender.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties.
Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.
Preheat the grill or skillet over medium heat and cook the patties for about 5 minutes on each side or until fully cooked.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for safety.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise with Cajun seasoning to create the sauce.
Adjust the seasoning in the mayo to your taste preference.
Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster.
Toasting the buns adds a nice crunch and prevents them from getting soggy.
Assemble the burgers by spreading the Cajun mayo on the buns, placing a patty on each, topping with cheese, lettuce, and tomato slices.
Serve immediately to enjoy the burgers at their freshest.
