Authentic Creole Spiced Burger Recipe with Rum BBQ Sauce

Serve these bold Creole spiced burgers on lightly toasted buns with mixed seasonings, crisp lettuce, sliced onions, and ripe tomatoes for a true taste of Louisiana's vibrant flavors.

Ingredients (Serves 4):

  • 1 kg lean minced beef chuck
  • 1/2 tablespoon barbecue sauce*
  • 1 drop chili sauce**
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 small chopped onion
  • 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
  • Vegetable oil for cooking

In a large bowl, mix the beef, barbecue sauce, chili sauce, sugar, onion, and breadcrumbs. Shape into small patties and grill on a lightly oiled barbecue or in a frying pan, turning once.

For extra flair, brush with chili paste before flipping to create a deliciously charred crust.
