• 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Cajun BBQ Sauce:

• 1/2 cup barbecue sauce (your favorite brand)
• 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
• 1 tablespoon hot sauce (adjust to your preferred spice level)
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

For Topping and Assembling:

• 4 hamburger buns
• Lettuce leaves
• Sliced tomato
• Sliced red onion
• Sliced pickles (optional)
• Sliced jalapeños (optional)
• Cheddar cheese slices (optional)

Instructions:

    Prepare the Burger Patties:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, Cajun seasoning, finely chopped onion, salt, and black pepper.
2. Mix the ingredients until well combined.
3. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties.
4. Prepare the Cajun BBQ Sauce:
5. In a small saucepan, combine the barbecue sauce, Cajun seasoning, hot sauce, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce.
6. Heat the sauce over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it simmers and thickens slightly.
7. Remove it from the heat and set it aside.

    Cook the Burger Patties:

1. Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat.
2. If using a grill, lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
3. Grill the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare to medium doneness.
4. Optional: During the last minute of cooking, add cheddar cheese slices to the patties and cover the grill to melt the cheese.

    Assemble the Cajun BBQ Burgers:

1. While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster.
2. Spread a generous amount of the Cajun BBQ sauce on both the top and bottom halves of each bun.
3. Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun.
4. Add a cooked burger patty (with or without cheese) on the lettuce.
5. Top the patty with a slice of tomato, sliced red onion, pickles (if desired), and jalapeños (if desired).
6. Place the other half of the bun on top.
