The Ultimate Grover Burger Recipe
Servings: 4
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
For the burgers:
- 1.5 lbs ground beef (80/20 blend recommended)
- 1 tbsp Grover’s SPG seasoning
- 4 brioche or potato buns, lightly toasted
- 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
- Butter or oil for grilling
For the grilled onions:
- 2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp butter or olive oil
- Pinch of Smokey Grover: Smoked SPG or Good Ole' SPG
For the Cajun Magic burger sauce:
- 1/2 cup mayo
- 1 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tsp yellow mustard
- 1 tbsp finely chopped dill pickles or relish
- 1 tsp Grover’s Cajun Magic seasoning
- Optional: dash of hot sauce
Instructions
1. Make the Cajun Magic Burger Sauce:
In a small bowl, combine mayo, ketchup, mustard, chopped pickles, and Grover’s Cajun Magic seasoning. Stir until well blended, then refrigerate to let the flavors meld.
2. Grill the Onions:
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter or oil. Add sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook slowly, stirring occasionally, for 10–12 minutes or until they’re soft and golden brown. Don’t rush this — low and slow is key to caramelization.
3. Season the Beef:
Place ground beef in a mixing bowl. Sprinkle with Grover’s SPG and mix gently. Avoid overworking the meat.
4. Form the Patties:
Divide into 4 equal parts and form patties slightly larger than the buns. Press a small dimple into the center of each patty.
5. Cook the Burgers:
Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat and add a little oil or butter. Cook patties 3–4 minutes per side. In the last minute of cooking, top with cheddar cheese and cover briefly to melt.
6. Toast the Buns:
Butter the cut sides and toast in the skillet or grill until golden.
7. Assemble the Burger:
Spread Cajun Magic sauce on both bun halves. Place the patty on the bottom bun, then top with a generous scoop of grilled onions. Add lettuce, tomato, or pickles as desired. Cap it with the top bun and serve hot.
Burger Tips from the Pros
- Grill onions slowly — this brings out their natural sugars for a beautifully caramelized finish.
- Don’t skip the dimple in your burger patty — it prevents doming for even cooking.
- Layer sauce on both sides of the bun to ensure every bite has balanced flavor.
This burger is a flavor bomb that combines seasoned beef, melty cheese, caramelized onions, and a spicy-creamy sauce. With Grover’s SPG and Cajun Magic in your corner, it’s practically impossible to mess this up.
