Cajun Burgers with Caramelized Onions | Plaid and Paleo
This is one of two recipes where I put my cajun spice mix to use. From the results, there will be many more occasions for this spice blend. I have a serious urge to put it on everything I make! It’s so good. Yes I know it is just a spice blend, but it is an awesome one! It paired perfectly with the burgers, not to mention the sweet caramelized onions. This was my first successful time making caramelized onions. I normally get impatient and turn up the heat to speed up the process. I’m so happy I was patient because these onions came out amazing! The balance of flavors blend so well. I whipped up another batch of my creamed spinach to lay a perfect base to these burgers.
Cajun Burgers with Caramelized Onions | Plaid and Paleo
Ingredients
Burgers
1 lb grass-fed beef
1 tbls cajun seasoning, here
lard for grilling
Caramelized onions
1 large sweet onion
1 tbls lard
1 tbls olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Cut onion in half from stem to end. Cut off ends and peel. Place cut side down. Cut at an angle, stem to end, to create even half-moon pieces. Separate onion pieces. Heat lard and oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the fats are simmering, add in onions. Stir and coat evenly. Reduce heat to medium. Stir onions occasionally to keep from sticking for 30 minutes. Yes 30 minutes! It is worth the wait! Season with salt and pepper.
While the onions are cooking, start the burgers. Gently combine meat and seasoning with your hands. You don’t want to overwork the meat. Heat a little lard on a flat skillet over medium-high heat. Form patties with a small divot in the middle. Grill for 5 minutes, flip and cook for another 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.
Serve over creamed spinach and topped with caramelized onions!
Recipe adapted from Freerange Human.
Enjoy!

  3. Can’t wait to try this one…

    Just to let you know… the link out to the cajun spice recipe is broken. It uses an IP address instead of the domain name, and I suspect your IP address has changed.
