Food and Recipes Dish Burgers Creole Burger 4.0 (1) 1 Review Weekends were made for laid-back backyard suppers and platters of delicious food such as fried chicken or hamburgers. Kick up your usual weekend burgers by adding the bold flavors of Creole seasonings (we love Zatarain's) and a tangy sauce. We suggest using ground chuck for this recipe - the high fat content makes for the juiciest and tastiest burgers but be careful and watch for flare ups on the grill caused by excess, dripping fat. For the most tender burgers, avoid over-handling and overmixing the meat, which can cause it to be tough and tight. Make a flavorful spread using mayonnaise, parsley, hot sauce, lemon juice, and Creole mustard, a spicy mustard made from Dijon style mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. This spread, which is also tasty served with fried chicken or seafood, comes together quickly – you can blend it together while the hamburger patties are cooking. Brioche buns, or French hamburger buns, are sweeter and larger than regular hamburger buns and can be found at most grocery stores. If you can't find them, use your favorite hamburger bun.
