Video Tutorial: Ragin’ Cajun Burgers – Thursday, August 6, 2009

Hey Young Chefs!

This is a great recipe for a burger with a little Cajun kick. If you want to make it spicier, you can add Cayenne or Tabasco to the meat. Enjoy!

Ragin’ Cajun Burgers

Ingredients:
2 lbs. ground beef (we like 85/15)
2 tbsp. Cajun Power Garlic Sauce
1 tbsp. Cajun seasoning
1 tbsp. minced garlic
1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
1 tbsp. Eliana’s Magic Seasoning Blend (or your favorite seasoning salt)

Directions:

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Form meat into palm-sized balls. Put ball on flat surface and use a plate to press down, forming a patty. Season both sides of patties with Cajun seasoning. Fry in an iron skillet until blackened. While patties are still hot, top with slices of Comte cheese (or cheese of your choice). Use soft French bread for a bun. Garnish with sauteed Vidalia onions (from Louisiana or your favorite sweet onion), Creole tomatoes (or any large tomato), and green leaf lettuce. Yum! Yum!

Hey Young Chefs!

Today, I made Parmesan Serrano Potato Quiche Muffins. They turned out so yum yum! In case you don’t know what Serrano is, it’s a type of ham from Spain. This quiche is super simple and bakes quickly.

Here’s a tip: use a large ice cream scoop to put the quiche mixture into the muffin tin. It gives you the perfect amount every time.
