The Cajun Burger

 

The Cajun Burger, Patti had a hankering for Jambalaya, but Ken had to have a bacon cheese burger. So, we compromised and made a burger with our favorite Chef of the Future Cajun Seasoning on a bacon cheeseburger topped with extra large shrimp. It came out great, especially adding our bacon square. Our first ingredient in our cooking is imagination, but sometimes it’s fun. We topped these beauties with a Secret Spicy Sauce of equal parts red hot sauce, mayonnaise and sour cream.

We did this on Green Mountain’s Davy Crockett. I love this little grill because it’s the perfect tailgater at 65 pounds. It is small enough to fit in your RV or apartment patio or take camping and big enough to smoke a turkey. It is dual voltage 110 ac and 12 VDC and everything you need is included. You just can’t beat that at less than $400.

Grill Grates and Lodge Cast Iron on the GMG Davy Crockett


Directions: The Cajun Burger

Make the Secret Spicy Sauce with equal parts red hot sauce, mayonnaise and sour cream. Preheat the grill to 400 degrees (205c); we like to use Grill Grates on our grills. They add a nice hot sear to your recipes. Generously season your burgers and shrimp with Chef of the Future Cajun Rub and put them in the fridge until you’re ready for them.

When the grill is hot put the shrimp and burgers on at the same time. We put the shrimp in some Lodge cast iron dishes with a little butter and seasoning. After 2 minutes give the burgers a quarter turn and stir the shrimp. After 2 more minutes flip the burgers, you are doing 4 minutes per side. Add your bacon square and cheese and do a quarter turn to the burger and stir the shrimp.

About 8 minutes cooking time should do, but grill them to your taste. Pull them and build your burger. U.S.D.A. safe for All ground meat is 165 degrees (74c). I use a Maverick ProTemp Instant Read Thermometer (Our Store) for checking meat temps.

A Wood Pellet Grill Recipe

Note: I get a lot of questions about the kind of pellets you can use with a recipe. Keep in mind that a recipe is just an outline. Some you need to follow closely like when you are making bread, but most you can do anything you can dream, our favorite way to cook. Feel free to mix and match the pellets until you find a combination you really like. Also you are only smoking at temps less than 250 degrees (122c), anything higher is cooking and there will not be much if any smoke so it does not matter what kind of pellet you are using.

About our Recipes

We do our recipes on our patio where we have a lineup of grills, including Green Mountain, Uuni Wood Fired Pizza Oven, Sawtooth, Louisiana, Royall, Memphis, Traeger pellet grills, Char Griller side box smoker, Saber, Charmglow, Char-Broil, The Big Easy, Lodge Sportsman’s, Brinkman and Weber. I call it our “Wall of Grill”. Our grilling styles are healthy and low fat and will fit pelletheads, gas, natural wood and even charcoal purists. Almost any of our recipes can be done on any kind of good BBQ.

The important thing to keep in mind is TIME & TEMPERATURE. You can do our recipes on any grill, even some of them in the oven or crock pot, but, then you lose all the flavors you get from cooking outdoors. But sometimes it does rain.

Remember that a recipe is simply an outline; it is not written in stone. Don’t be afraid to make changes to suit your taste. Take it and run with it….

Live your Passion and Do What You Love,
Ken & Patti
