Lunch: Creole Burger

A burger and spiced mayo infused with creole flavors make for an interesting departure from the traditional burger.

Ingredients

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 small Vidalia onion, finely chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, (or green bell pepper), finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 1/2 lbs ground beef
1/2 teaspoon plus 1/4 teaspoon Creole seasoning, divided
4 hamburger buns, split
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons relish
1 tablespoon green onions, chopped
1 teaspoon Paula Deen Hot Sauce

Instructions

Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, bell pepper and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are very tender, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a large bowl. Let cool for 5 minutes.
Add the beef and 1/2 teaspoon Creole seasoning to the pepper and onion mixture, stirring well to combine. Shape into 4-6 thin patties.
Spray a non-stick ridged grill pan with non-stick spray and set over medium heat. Add the patties and cook, turning occasionally, 8-9 minutes on each side.
Meanwhile, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, relish, green onions, hot sauce and 1/4 teaspoon creole spice blend in a small bowl. Serve the burgers on buns topped with the Bayou Mayo.
