Ingredients

Spicy mayonnaise:

3/4 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon Cajun or Creole seasoning blend

1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce

****

Burgers:

1/2 pound andouille sausage, cut into scant 1/4-inch cubes

3/4 cup pecans, toasted, chopped

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 1/2 pounds ground beef chuck or ground beef (20 percent fat)

****

Caramelized onions:

1 1/2 pounds onions, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons olive oil plus more for brushing grill rack

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 tablespoon golden brown sugar

****

6 large hamburger buns, split

8 ounces crumbled blue cheese

****

Optional:

12 pickled okra pods, halved lengthwise*

3 cups watercress tops

Directions

For mayonnaise:

Mix all ingredients in small bowl. Cover and chill.

Mayo Note: Can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled.

****

For burgers:

Toss first 4 ingredients in large bowl. Add beef; blend gently. Shape mixture into six 1/2-inch-thick patties. Transfer patties to small baking sheet.

Burger Note: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.

****

For caramelized onions:

Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Toss onions and next 3 ingredients in large skillet. Place skillet on grill; cook until onions are golden, stirring often, about 25 minutes. Remove from grill; season with salt and pepper.

Onion Note: Can cook on stovetop in a heavy lightly-oiled saute pan over medium-low heat for 25-30 minutes, or until caramelized. Season as directed above.

****

Brush grill rack with olive oil. Grill buns, cut side down, until golden, about 2 minutes. Transfer buns to work surface.

Grill burgers until brown on bottom, about 3 minutes. Turn over; sprinkle with cheese. Grill until burgers are cooked to desired doneness, about 3 minutes for medium.

Place some onions, then burger, on each bun bottom. Top each with okra and watercress (optional). Spread mayonnaise on cut side of bun tops; place on burgers. Serve with remaining mayonnaise.

***Shopping tip: Look for pickled okra where the pickles and relishes are displayed.

I made these burgers for dinner last night and it was fantastic! My husband wasn't a fan of the pecans though so i may have to omit them next time. I loved the crunch though! This is a great post!

Oh, my word! I must fix this soon! Definitely a high five from me!

I have had this recipe in my manager for awhile and dying to try it. I was having one of those what to make moments and thought of this. I did not have any andouille or blue cheese in the house so I substituted chorizo in the burgers and Rondele herbed cheese on the bun and used a Chipotle pepper in the mayo instead of cajun spice and hot sauce. They were amazing! Thanks for the inspiration!

I made these last night! Yum! My fiance is already wanting to know when I will make them again. I spent some of my childhood in New Orleans and love Andouille. Thanks for the great recipe! :)
