A jazzy way to spice up the boring basic burger that will tantalize your taste buds! Cajun spiced mayonnaise is the perfect complement to these spicy beef burgers.
Great Burger! Whipped up cajun seasoning (from a cookbook recipe) by using 2 parts black pepper, 1 part ground cayenne, 1 part cumin, 1 part nutmeg and a dash of salt. Used yellow onion, not white and I think the beef was just round or 'hamburger'. Didn't have pepperjack slices, so used provolone. The mayo made a great topper. One of the best burgers we've ever had.

These burgers had a nice spicy kick but not a lot of flavour. I think we just prefer a burger with grilled onions, bacon & BBQ sauce.

This was awesome! :] Really really good. I added extra worcestershire sauce to it. I roughly cut my jalapenos and onions, since it doesnt bother me, but other people might want to finely chop their vegetables. I really love spicy food, so next time i might add hot sauce/tabasco to the meat or something. If you arent a lover of spicy foods, heres a tip: the heat of a jalapeno is within the membrane inside it, so if you remove that it wont be as hot. Also, 1/2 cup of mayonnaise was alot. I think i used about a couple teaspoons per burger. You'll probably only need 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup. Next time [and there definately will be] i might add a little more seasoning to the mayo.
These burgers are just awesome! I followed the recipe exactly and they were fantastic, and I can't say enough about how simple but perfect the cajun mayo was. Yum!
Great burger! The mayo really topped it off nicely. Was on the lower end of spicy for us, so next time I'll be more generous with the jalapenos and spice.
The search for the perfect home burger is over! Oh my! These were fabulous! I pre-grilled my buns in olive oil on the griddle while I was making my burger mix. Then I stuck them back in their bag to stay warm and moist while I griddled the burgers. The spicy mayo just makes these burgers. Thank you! Thank you!!
This recipe was really pretty good... maybe just a bit too much pepper for my liking as they were a bit too crunchy.
WONDERFUL! Followed the recipe exactly, and it came out perfect.
Delicious burgers. Nice and juicy. I would add extra jalepeno peppers to it the next time as I found it still needed more kick - but I like things HOT and SPICY.
These burgers are really good! However, I must admit that I did add an extra jalapeno and increased the amount of cajun seasoning (homemade using Emeril's recipe for "Essence"). The recipe "as is" would probably be fine but the hubby and I like well seasoned, spicy food.
These burgers had a nice spicy kick but not a lot of flavour. I think we just prefer a burger with grilled onions, bacon & BBQ sauce.
use 80/20 ground beef so there's enough fat in the burger. It's what makes them good!
Oh my goodness! These were so wonderful especially with the Videlia onions finally on the west coast now : ) We cut the cajun seasoning a bit...absolutely delicious!!
Oh, these are the best tasting burgers I have ever had! I made these for an early dinner today, and after two bites my husband declared that this was the best hamburger he's ever tasted. The only thing I did differently was to put the cheese on after the burgers came off the grill (we have a tendency to lose the cheese off the meat when it's too hot), but I wouldn't dare change another single thing about this recipe...this recipe makes the absolulte perfect burger. Thank you for sharing this recipe, Sarah. It was a huge hit with my husband and sons.
This burger is better than any burger I've had in a long time. It is definitely spicy and full of flavor. We made it exactly as written and will make it many more times.
I put my own twist on this - as we so often do - I used ground chicken instead of beef, soy sauce instead of worshy sauce, an extra clove of garlic, 1 and 1/2 jalepeno' and left out the cheese. I served it on wheat buns and we loveddd it!!!! Thanks for the great idea!
This was very good, but I think next time instead of Cajun seasoning in the mayo, I would use a chipotle cumin mix. Also, I had a hard time keeping the burger patties formed, had to freeze them a bit to hold together for the grill. They were pretty wet...maybe next time just a little bit of fine bread crumbs to hold things together. We will make these again, my husband loved these burgers!
Woohoo!!!!! Another burger to add to the summer fun! This was outta this world! The veggies in it made it SO juicy and the flavor was outstanding! I followed the recipe exact. I was worried it was going to be too spicey as I am not one with a high heat tolerance, but it was hardly spicey at all.....of course it would depend on the pepper too, so the one we used must not have had too much kick in it. I can't wait to make this up for some guests...I know they will rave about it!
I broiled these for about 5 minutes per side, as it was too cold to grill outside. Delicious and just the right amount of spice.
Delicious. The only thing I did differently was to use 3 large jalepenos in the meat mixture (Husband likes things spicy). I cooked them on the Foreman grill, and they were awesome. Thanks, Sarah!
Pretty good! Plans changed suddenly when I couldn't find thawed, uncooked shrimp while shopping for tonight's dinner. I did a quick search for burgers on my iPad and this was the first recipe to come up in my recipe box. Since I had already saved this, I decided to go for it. While this wasn't my favorite burger, I thought it was quite good nonetheless. My hubby thought it was "OK," but then again, he likes his burgers plain (plain = blah!). I pretty much followed Sarah's directions exactly except for subbing Emeril's Southwest seasoning for Cajun seasoning / Essence (I thought I had the latter at home, but didn't). I liked my substitution a lot! The Southwest spice blend complemented the jalapeno in the burger nicely! Served on seeded hamburger buns with pepperjack, lettuce, tomato, guacamole, "Southwestern-seasoned" mayo and a side of chips / salsa, this was a quick and filling meal. Thanks for sharing, Ms. Stephan! :-)
This is the best hamburger recipe I have ever tried, and I've tried them all....
Loved these! I only used a third of the jalapeno and really finely chopped the pepper and onion because I wasn't sure the kids would like it, but they loved it! The mayo is perfect with the meat! Perfect with some home made fries.
Raise your hand and repeat after me: There is no other burger than thee. And I will never, no doubt, cook a burger without Using this amazing recipe.
So delicious! Been watching the carbs so just served it on a bed of lettuce with a dollop of the mayo on top and topped with the burger & tomato wedges. I used regular jack cheese because I didn't have any pepper jack. Added a few pickled jalapeno slices for extra zip and topping! Super good! Will make this again and again!
This burger was delicious! Love the jalapenos in the burger and the cajun seasoning gives it that extra kick! I really like the cajun mayo as well. I will be making these again!
Fantastic!! I could not believe how moist these are!! I did not add the jalapeno and I but the onion and extra garlic into the food processor because the burgers will fall apart on the grill if they are not finely, finely minced. Such a great flavor and incredibly juicy. These burgers go great with the roasted cajun potatoes recipe from this website!
Absolutely delish!!! Was a hit with the guys! The only thing I will do next time is add a lil extra seasoning (salt) for the burger.
I loved the spicy flavors. My husband preferred my regular turkey burgers though.
Excellent. Even my picky teenager loves them. I wouldn't change anything...A+A+A+
AWESOME! This recipe is simply fantastic. You don't need to change anything, just make it as is. Thanks Sarah S for a great recipe!!!
Made these for a family BBQ and everyone loved them. Sister said it was the best burger she ever had!
Really good - not knock your socks off, but really good. The jalapeno gives a good spice essence without overpowering the flavor or causing steam to come out of your ears.
Best burger by far. Top bun with 2-3 large crispy onion rings and serve the remaining rings as a side!!! great combo
Loved this burger and I LOVE burgers. I did use lite mayo & light Jack cheese. I cut the recipe back to 2 5oz burgers and used a whole Jalapeno pepper. Thanks for a great Saturday night Burger.
Yum Yum Yum, great recipe :) I did change a few things, I added some red hot to kick it up a bit, and stuffed it with mushrooms, and cheese. I also added a couple tablespoons of crushed up fritos. Thank you though, I will defintely make this again :)
Very good. Cooked the onions and jalepenos in a little oil and then cooled before putting them in the burger. I like my onions cooked and they never seem to when cooked in the burger. Will make again.
I followed this recipe EXACTLY..which is a first for me. I'm only giving this three stars because it never blew my mind. Yes these burgers are tasty but I couldn't taste any of the cajun spice or jalapenos. This tasted like your everyday homemade burger nothing more nothing less even the cajun mayo tasted like something that just was there to moisted the bun. I may try this again with a different brand of spices and def increase the spince and jalapenos. Thanx for sharing.
Just looked for something new for hamburger. This was one of the best burger's we've had! Thank you for sharing!
I am actually giving these burgers 4 1/2 stars.They were just a bit too spicy for me and the kids. Very tasty and juicy.
A nice change up from the everyday burger. They are very spicey. Thanks for sharing
These are so good! Nice & moist. I didn't have cajun seasoning but used creole seasoning instead with the addition of a little chipotle spice...yum! Very good recipe.
I omitted the tomatoes because we aren't tomato lovers but other than that I did it pretty much exactly. I did leave just a little seed and pulp and I agree that is the way to go for extra spicy. I was super excited to heat up my leftover burgers for lunch the next day, and it was delicious reheated in the microwave! :) yum.
Wow - I've made these twice now and this last time, the burgers were to die for! We are always looking to help spice up the meat of the burger without overpowering it and this is it! The only changes I made were eliminating the jalapenos and then adding a couple dashes of cayenne pepper. We didn't want it too spicy with our 5 year old eating a burger. Fantastic, I'm not sure we'll ever make burgers without spicing them up with this recipes again!
Excellent. I use pickled jalapenos from a jar since I always have them on hand. Even my daughter loves these burgers, and she's a picky eater.
Nice recipe to change up the burger a bit. Followed to a "t" except I did not use ground sirloin. Nice flavorful burger and not too spicy. Thanks for sharing.
This hamburger was amazing! I was afraid that with the jalapeno it would be too spicy, but it added just the right amount of kick to the burger. The mayo/cajun seasoning was a great way to tie the whole thing together so that you got spicy-ness throughout. I got in a hurry and forgot to add the Worcestershire sauce to the meat mixture (realized it right when I was grilling them - oops!), but it didn't seem like the burger was missing anything. Loved by the whole family, my husband and I each ate one, and we gave a half to our three year old...now to see who gets the one leftover hamburger tomorrow. Will make again soon, I'm sure. Thanks for the great recipe, Sarah!
I am actually giving these burgers 4 1/2 stars.They were just a bit too spicy for me and the kids. Very tasty and juicy.
These burgers have great flavor. I love the cajun mayo too. Yummy! The only reason I gave it 4 stars was because of the use of sirloin. Ok if you want a dry burger. Round is much much better for burgers. You want it to have a little more fat to keep it juicy.
Loved this recipe & I used McCormicks Creole spice for cajun ingredient. Made these for a BBQ & they were gone in a flash... Fantastic. Thank you.
Good burger recipe! I made this for a spontaneous BBQ one weekday evening and it was easy and tasty! Everyone loved the jalapeno and the cajun mayo was yummy too. Next time I think I'll make extra mayo and make sweet potato fries to dip. I'm giving it a 4/5 stars because I thought that while it was spicy it lacked a bit of flavour.
Love it!! I sprinkle on a little more Worcestershire Sauce when I get them made into patties but other than that this is perfect! The cajun mayo is awesome, I crave these burgers everytime we grill out!
We loved these. Hubby craves them now and makes them whenever we buy a stock of our local grass fed organic beef.
Up front, I'll tell you I used pre-made burger patties - sprinkled each with Wor sauce and cajun seasoning (about 1/8t of each per patty). Followed the rest of the recipe exactly. Loved them! Why haven't I thought of cajun mayo??!
Great idea for burgers. I made them for my husband for Father's Day and it was a big hit! I think I'll add more jalapenos next time.
Great tasting burgers. I wanted them a little spicier the second time around so I added hot spices you would find at a pizza restaurant, extra jalapeno, and more cajun seasoning. They turned out great!
Not what I hoped for. The flavors were okay and the mayo not so okay. Sorry, not a keeper
this is a good burger recipe but we still found it a little plain. The cajun mayo was a great touch that spiced it up a little more. Will try again but may modify the burger a little more.
What a great twist on a burger. BEWARE if you are not a fan of some PEP! The only thing I added extra was a little BBQ sauce and they came out so juicy and yummy! Thanks for the share.
superb burgers, meaty, and full of flavour. had them twice in one week. could become friday night's special.
My husband called this "the best burger he's ever had!" I'm thrilled to have a go-to burger recipe. I did make a few modifications just to personalize it to our tastes...added diced mushrooms, used soy instead of worcestershire, and used ground turkey rather than beef.
very good.added 1/4 cup sour cream only change. cooked on low side of grill non direct heat. AWSOME BURGERS
AWESOME!!! I used red onion, more worcestershire, and Zateran's blackened seasoning, also added an egg to the burger mixture (mine wanted to crumble due to the jalapeno and onion). Cooked on the barbie, with pepperjack and swiss. Delish, and the cajun mayo is a MUST!!!!
I have to say the best homemade burger ever. Will be making it again and again. Thank you
I made this following the recipe as closely as I could. But I had to go about this a little differently. My burgers were already formed and I was in a hurry, so I didn't add the jalapeno, onions, garlic, cajun seasoning or worcestershire sauce to the meat itself. I did sprinkle the Cajun seasoning on the outside of the burgers and dressed them with a slice of red onion, along with the pepperjack cheese, tomato and lettuce. I served the jalapenos on the side. All I really ended up omitting from the recipe was the garlic and worcestershire. We really enjoyed these and I especially loved the Cajun mayo.
It was great! Definitely one of the best burger recipes on this site. I added a little bit of Kosher Salt to the burgers to bring out the flavors of the Cajun seasoning, and some cayenne pepper to the mayo for some extra kick. I also buttered and broiled the buns. I will definitely be making this again and again!
Loved this burger! It was a hit with all 4 of my kids, my 10 yr old especially loved the spicy mayo. This recipe is def a keeper, I've made it 3 times now and using it on turkey burgers tonight!
Very very good! Everyone loved these, including the kids :) They were not to spicy at all!
These saved the day! Great burgers. I made enough ground sirloin for 6 burgers and left the seasonings the same based on other reviews. Didn't want to take a chance of getting them too salty. It was perfect. I received many complements. It made up for a grilled chicken recipe I made that didn't turn out as well as expected. These I would make again in a heartbeat! Thanks Sarah!
This was very tasty. I didn't have any buns so I used toasted naan bread which turned out to be crispy and really tasty. I will make this again and will try other kinds of bread.
These were a HUGE BBQ hit. Everyone loved them. I used diced canned jalepeno's and though they were going to be insanely spicy and they were not at all. We also added some Cayenne pepper to the mayo and it was so yummy (we love spicy!). We made these with both ground beef and buffalo and loved each.
I really enjoyed these, they had nice flavor and a nice spiceyness. I used pickled jalapenos. I really liked the cajun mayo, very simple, will make that again.
These were VERY juicy! My husband had juice running down his hand and arm! I topped each burger with a "glop" of guacamole before serving which added an even nicer 'kick' with the cajun mayo.
I liked this, but my husband thought it was out of this world. The pepperjack goes well with the cajun mayo, but I think I might have used a more "tex-mex" seasonings in the burgers themselves instead of the cajun.
I made these but I had bought meat that had been made into patties, and since they do such a good job of making the patties, I grilled the onions and jalepenos and threw them on top of my burgers. Just use good meat and these come out amazing everytime!
I make these all the time, and everyone always loves them. They are so moist and have so much flavor. An easy way to save on calories is to use a light or ff mayo. After mixing it with the cajun spices, no one has ever noticed that it's not regular mayo. Also, because these burgers are so moist, I use a lean ground beef.
This was excellent! I liked the touch of Worcestershire sauce. It was a nice twist on a regular meal.
OMG! By far, one of the best burgers yet! The cajun mayo is fantastic and can be used on many other things! Our family loved them, and have since had them again! Summer fun, grilling burger!!!
