Cajun-Seasoned Burger Patties have great flavor, whether BBQ grilled or skillet-cooked. Eat them "as is", or on a bun with all the fixin's!
Place ground beef in mixing bowl. Add all spices; mix together using a fork or clean hands, until spices are distributed in the meat. Don't overwork the beef.
Divide meat into 2 balls; use your hands to flatten/shape them into 2 round circles. Place each patty on wax paper or parchment paper.
BBQ: If grilling outside, cook as you would any burger on the BBQ grill. Cook until they reach your preferred "doneness".
SKILLET: Heat a cast iron skillet on medium heat until really hot (but not smoking). Place patties into hot skillet (they should sizzle when they hit the skillet).
NON CAST IRON SKILLET: If using NON cast iron skillet, lightly spray skillet with non-stick spray before adding patties.
Do not move/disturb patties for about 3 minutes, while they sear (and set) in the skillet. Once nicely browned on the bottom, carefully flip each patty to the other side. Continue to cook to your preferred doneness, turning (if desired) to further brown the outside.
Serve plain (as is), on a plate with side dishes OR place them on toasted hamburger buns, and top with your favorite burger condiments. Enjoy!
*NOTE: 85% ground beef was used for the caloric calculation of 253 calories per patty. If using LEAN ground beef, caloric calculation would lower to about 165 calories per patty.
