I'm not really sure exactly what Cajun flavor really is but if this is it then please sign me up! You know as I was reading this recipe I had a thought...what about simmering the burgers in the sauce and serving them over some rice or on a roll would be ok too. The great thing about spicy food...is it's already got so much flavor infused into it that there's not much of a need for cheese. Although, a little wouldn't hurt. lol
