• 5 cornichons, diced
• 1 green onion, white and pale green parts, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon sweet paprika
• 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 1/2 pounds ground chuck
• 2 tablespoons canola oil, plus more for brushing
• 8 paper-thin slices of pepper jack cheese
• 4 buns, split
• 8 slices thinly sliced tasso ham
• 1 red onion, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch thick slices

How To Make Louisiana Burger Recipe?

1. Make the Mayonnaise Sauce: Whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, hot sauce, cornichons, green onion, and flat-leaf parsley in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
2. Prepare the Spice Mixture: In a small bowl, combine sweet paprika, freshly ground black pepper, kosher salt, dried thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
3. Form the Patties: Mix the spice mixture with the ground chuck, then mold the meat into burger patties. Brush both sides with canola oil and season with salt. Sprinkle one side of each patty with the spice mixture, rubbing it into the meat. Drizzle the patties with oil before grilling.
4. Cook the Burgers: Preheat the grill to high. Heat 30g canola oil in a cast iron skillet placed on the grill grates until it begins to shimmer. If using a skillet, cook the patties for about 1 1/2 minutes until slightly charred and the spices form a crust. Turn the burgers over, reduce the heat to medium, and cook until done to your preference. If using a grill, cook the patties directly on the grates at the same time.
5. Melt the Cheese: Place 2 slices of pepper jack cheese on each burger during the last 30 seconds of cooking, allowing it to melt.
6. Assemble the Burger: Place the cooked patties on the split buns, top with tasso ham, red onion slices, and a generous spoonful of the mayonnaise sauce. For added crunch, include some potato chips. Secure the burger together with a skewer.

Recipe Tips:

• Don’t Overwork the Meat: When forming the burger patties, handle the meat gently to keep them tender. Overworking can make them tough.
• Season the Patties Well: Make sure to season both sides of the patties with the spice mix, and rub it in for full flavor.
• Preheat the Grill: Always preheat your grill to high heat for a perfect sear on the outside of the burger.
• Use a Cast Iron Skillet: If you’re not using a grill, a cast iron skillet is the best way to get a crispy crust on the burgers.
• Let the Burger Rest: After cooking, let the burger rest for a few minutes before serving so the juices stay inside.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Allow the leftover Louisiana Burger to cool down to room temperature. After that, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Freeze: For freezing, wrap the burgers in plastic wrap and foil, or use a container. You can freeze them for up to 2 months.
• Reheat: Heat the burger in a skillet over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side until warm and the cheese is melted.
