1
Mix Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
2
Form Patties
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 3/4 inch thick.
3
Cook Patties
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and place a slice of pepper jack cheese on top. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness.

4
Prepare Toppings
While the patties are cooking, wash and dry the lettuce leaves. Slice the tomato into thick slices.
5
Assemble Burger
Once the patties are cooked, toast the burger buns if desired. On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by a cooked patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, and a generous amount of pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.
6
Serve
Serve the burgers immediately with your favorite sides, such as fries or a salad.
