Cajun Burgers with Caramelized Onions
Lately, I’ve been experimenting with using the cajun spice mix as a rub as opposed to mixing the spices in the ground meat by hand. The result was amazing. A rub gives the burgers an amazing crust and keeps the juiciness and flavor of the beef in tact, so you get a crispy exterior yet a nice and tender interior of the burger. I’m definitely going to use this technique more often for burgers as well as steaks.
