Meet the Cook: My family likes its food spicy. I found the original recipe for these burgers in a cookbook, then added and subtracted ingredients until they suited our taste. Cajun Burgers are always on the menu whenever we have company over for a backyard cookout. Like my husband, I was raised in the country. We have four children (20, 16, 13 and 9) and now a grandson, too! -Julie Culbertson, Bansalem, Pennsylvania Ingredients:
cajun seasoning blend: |
3 tablespoons ground cumin |
3 tablespoons dried oregano |
1 tablespoon garlic powder |
1 tablespoon paprika |
2 teaspoons salt |
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
burgers: |
1 pound ground turkey or beef |
1/4 cup finely chopped onion |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon cajun seasoning blend (recipe above) |
1/2 to 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce |
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme |
1/4 teaspoon dried basil |
1 garlic clove, minced |
