Cajun Baby Cheeseburgers



Makes 8 servings


Cajun Seasoning

1 teaspoon smoked or regular paprika
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon dried Oregano
Burgers
1 pound lean ground beef
1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
1 teaspoon hot sauce, such as Siracha or Tabasco
2 slices pepperjack cheese, quartered (8 pieces)
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
8 mini hamburger buns or dinner rolls, split
1/4 cup  Ranch dressing 
16 arugula leaves or lettuce of choice
8 Roma tomato slices

Directions:
1. Place all Cajun seasonings into a bowl, mix to combine.
2. Place beef, seasoning, hot sauce, and garlic into a large bowl and mix until just combined. I prefer to combine the beef with my hands. Form the mixture into 8 equal size patties.
3. Place oil into a large skillet over medium heat. In batches, place patties into hot skillet and cook until browned, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Place a quarter of cheese on top of each burger to melt.
4. Place rolls, split side down into same skillet until toasted, about 1 minute.
5. Spread dressing onto insides of warm toasted rolls. Layer bottom roll with arugula leaves, a burger and a tomato slice. Close with top roll. Place a pick inside each burger to hold them together. These babies are tall.
