These Louisiana burgers are absolutely incredible. They are the best burgers I’ve ever had. Wonderful grilled seasoned beef, kick’n pepper jack cheese, a creamy remoulade, crunchy red onion and my favorite, spicy homemade Tasso that just melts in your mouth. All on homemade buns. Without the tasso these are great burgers. With it, they are amazing.
Every bite of these Louisiana burgers is fully of fantastic flavor. If you don’t want to go through the ‘trouble’ of making tasso, I strongly encourage you to find some. Even if you have to drive to Louisiana. It’s special. The flavors are very concentrated so you won’t need much. It’s salty, spicy and lightly smoky. Perfect on a grilled burger.
I could’ve used some Kaw-Cajun Comeback sauce on these burgers, but I went with a bottle of Louisiana Fish Fry Product’s remoulade sauce instead. It has a nice zesty taste that is also great on po boy sandwiches. You can find it in your grocer’s southern foods section.
If you love big flavors, you’ll love these burgers. Also try my spicy bacon burgers.
