Smoked Cajun Cheese Burgers: Bold, Spicy, and Loaded with Flavor

Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, mix ground beef, Creole burger marinade, Creole seasoning, and cubed pepper jack cheese until combined. Form into 4 burger patties.

Step 2: Preheat your smoker or grill to 225°F (107°C). Place the patties on the smoker and cook for about 1 hour, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).

Step 3: In the last 10 minutes of cooking, top each patty with a slice of cheddar cheese and allow it to melt.

Step 4: Toast the brioche buns on the grill until lightly golden.

Step 5: Assemble the burgers by spreading Creole mayo on the bottom bun, adding the smoked patty, topping with caramelized onions and peppers, and adding lettuce and tomato if desired. Finish with the top bun.

Storage Information

Store leftover burger patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on a skillet or grill for best texture. Avoid microwaving to keep the buns from getting soggy.
