Authentic Cajun Hamburgers - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 1/2 lbs ground beef
    1/2 lb pork sausage (homemade)
    1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
    1 tablespoon steak sauce (optional)
    2 tablespoons catsup (or BBQ sauce)
    3 -4 dashes louisiana hot sauce
    3 -4 drops liquid crab boil concentrate
    1 teaspoon garlic powder
    2 teaspoons creole seasoning
    1 medium onion (minced)
    1/2 medium bell pepper (minced)
    1/4 cup water
    2 large eggs
Preparation
    Remove sausage from the casing & combine both meats in a bowl. Add the remaining ingredients & mix well. Let the mixture rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hr for seasonings to \"work\".
    Form hamburger patties as usual & make them about 3/4\" larger than the bun. The burgers will shrink, so doing this will give you a \"bun-fitting\" hamburger patty.
    Cook hamburgers on high heat on ea side for about 1 minute. Then finish them on a med low heat till done (An internal temp of 160F is recommended by the USDA).
    When done, spray them on both sides w/a water mist & sprinkle a little salt on them. Serve immediately.
    If not serving immediately, put the patties in a pan w/only enough water to cover the bottom. Keep them covered so they don't dry out. Doing all of this will give you a slightly moister hamburger patty.
