New Orleans Saints Po’ Boy Burger
Leave it to New Orleans to come up with the coolest name for the sub sandwich! My Saints inspired burger is just that – a sub sandwich - or a Po Boy. I seared off a beef patty that I cover with Cajun spice for an extra kick. Once cooked, slip it into a good quality fresh French roll (the quality of the bread is critical), and top it with lettuce, pickles, onions, and tomatoes…of course, you can add just about anything you’d like. Of course you can top it with Ketchup, mustard and mayo, but my final add, is a bit of spicy Cajun mayo, which is super simple to make, and goes great with the burger. Enjoy New Orleans!
