Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 lemon, squeezed
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Tony’s Lite Creole Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup mayo
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons Tony’s Lite Creole Seasoning
  • 10 ounces pepper jack cheese, diced into small cubes
  • 3 pounds of ground chuck beef
  • 1 bottle of Tony’s Creole Style Burger Marinade
  • 2 tablespoons butter, unsalted
  • 2 sweet onions, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon table salt
  • Colby Jack 3 Pepper Cheese slices
  • Buns, toasted

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, stir together mayo, Worcestershire sauce, fresh lemon juice, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and Creole seasoning. Chill in the fridge until you need it.
  2. In a small bowl, blend together garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and Creole seasoning.
  3. In a big bowl, combine the ground beef, diced pepper jack, and burger marinade. Form into balls weighing around 1/3 to 1/2 pound each. Flatten into 1/2-inch thick patties, lay them on parchment paper, and freeze for 20 minutes.
  4. In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter, then mix in the chopped onions with salt. Stir occasionally and cook for 30-40 minutes, letting them caramelize nicely.
  5. Set your smoker to 250-275°F and toss in some hickory wood chunks. Lay the patties in, and let them smoke for 30-40 minutes. Put the cheese slices on when they’re almost done. Once the patty’s internal temp reaches 165°F, pull them out, and let them rest for 6 minutes.
  6. Toast the buns, slather some Cajun sauce on the bottom bun, place a smoked patty on top, pile on caramelized onions, and add extra sauce if you like. Cap it with the top bun.

Notes

  • Adjust spice levels in the Cajun sauce according to your taste.
  • For a smokier flavor, increase the smoking time.
  • Make sure to let the patties rest after smoking for juiciness.
