1. In bowl, mix
beef, Cajun seasoning, and salt. Divide into 12 portions.
Shape into 3- to 4-inch-wide patties.
2. In bowl, mix onion, pepper, and cheese. Spoon 1/4 cup of
cheese mixture into the centers of 6 patties. Top with remaining
patties. Press edges to seal.
3. Grill directly over medium heat*, uncovered, 14 to 18 minutes
or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center
of burgers registers 160 degrees F., turning over halfway
through grilling time. Serve on buns. Add your choice of accompaniments
such as lettuce, sliced tomatoes, cucumber slices, pickles,
and carrot, and celery sticks, if you like. Makes 6 burgers.
*Note: For medium heat, you should be able to hold your hand
over heat at the height of food for 4 seconds.
