Jalapeño Cheddar Gator Burgers
Delicious Gator Burgers what else do you really need to know???
Servings: 6 burgers
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 lbs gator thawed but very cold
- 8 oz sharp cheddar cubed to fit in grinder
- 2 jalapeños core and remove seeds
- 5 green onion chopped finely
- 1 egg whisked
- 2 T Louisiana hot sauce divided
- 1 T Cajun seasoning
- 1/2 C mayo
- Hawaiian hamburger buns
- Burger toppings lettuce, green onion, mustard, pickles, tomato, sliced cheese, etc
Instructions
- Grind gator, cheddar, and jalapeños through a medium grinding plate.
- In a large bowl, add the meat mixture, green onions, egg, 1T hot sauce, and Cajun seasoning. Mix until thoroughly combined.
- If you have a flat grilling tray, heat your grill to medium high heat. If you do not, use a large skillet or large frying pan on medium high heat.
- Form six patties. They need to be pretty fat so that they do not fall apart.
- The meat is very lean so it does not like to stay together. I made mine about 3/4-1 inch thick and a little smaller than the size of my palm.
- Cook the patties 4-6 minutes each side or until fully cooked. As previously stated, they like to fall apart, so be careful when flipping them.
- Combine mayo and remaining 1T of hot sauce.
- Assemble burgers. Enjoy!
