LOUISIANA BURGER

Steps:

• Mayonnaise:
• Whisk together the mayonnaise, mustards, hot sauce, cornichons, green onion and parsley in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• Burger:
• Stir together the paprika, pepper, salt, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder and cayenne in a small bowl.
• Mold the meat into patties. Brush with oil, season both sides with salt. Sprinkle 1 side of each patty with the spice mixture, making sure to rub the spices into the meat, then drizzle with oil before grilling.
• Preheat grill to high.
• Heat the 2 tablespoons of oil in a cast iron skillet on top of the grates of the grill until it begins to shimmer. If using cast iron pan, place the burger in the pan and cook until slightly charred and the spices have formed a crust, about 1 1/2 minutes (be careful not to burn the spices.) Turn the burger over, lower the heat to medium and continue cooking to desired doneness. If using a grill, grill the burgers on the grates of the grill for about same amount of time. Top each burger with 2 slices of cheese during the last 30 seconds of cooking, until cheese is melted.
• Put the burgers on the buns, top with the ham, some of the onions and some of the mayonnaise sauce and potato chips. Use a skewer to hold the burger together.

CAJUN BURGER RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a small bowl, combine the paprika, garlic powder, oregano, onion powder, kosher salt, thyme, and the black and cayenne peppers. Stir to combine. Transfer the mixture to a jar with a lid.
• In another small bowl, combine the mayonnaise with the finely chopped green onion, Dijon mustard, hot sauce, and dill relish. Add 3/4 teaspoon of the Cajun seasoning (or to taste). Cover and refrigerate the remoulade until serving time.
• In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, minced onion, pressed garlic, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of the Cajun seasoning mixture. Mix to blend thoroughly.
• With your hands of a burger press, shape the meat mixture into four burgers. Each burger will weigh approximately 6 ounces. With your thumb, make an indentation in the center of each burger. Refrigerate the burgers until it is time to cook. Store the remaining Cajun seasoning in a cool, dark place.
• Heat the grill to medium-high heat. When the grill is hot, brush the grate with olive oil or canola oil. Place the burgers on the grill, indentation side up and grill for about 5 minutes. Carefully flip the burgers and continue grilling for about 4 to 5 minutes longer, or until the burgers register 160 F, the minimum safe temperature recommended by the USDA.
• Transfer the burgers to a plate or rack and tent with foil. Let them rest for 5 minutes.
• Assemble the burgers on buns with your choice of toppings, along with a generous amount of remoulade sauce.
