Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 pounds ground sirloin
• 1 1/2 pounds ground chuck
• ½ onion, very finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• Creole Seasoning, to taste
• 1 to 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon crystal hot sauce

Instructions:

Place all ingredients in a large glass mixing bowl. Using your hands, gently combine and form into patties. Grill or fry to desired doneness and dress with whatever you like. See  Louisiana Cookin’s Tips and Techniques for more tips on making a better burger.

Food Stylist's Note: To make a flat burger that doesn't puff up in the middle, make a slight depression in the center of each patty (both sides) before cooking.
