Bleu Cheeseburgers
Ingredients:
– 1 ½ pounds ground beef
– 4 oz crumbled bleu cheese
– 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 4 hamburger buns
– Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickles
Instructions:
1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, making sure the grates are clean and oiled to prevent sticking.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, crumbled bleu cheese, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Gently mix all the ingredients together until just combined; be careful not to overwork the meat as this can result in tough burgers.
3. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from bulging as it cooks.
4. Once the grill is hot, place the patties on the grates and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time to your desired level of doneness.
5. While the burgers are cooking, you can also toast the hamburger buns on the grill for a minute or two until they are lightly golden.
6. Once the burgers are cooked to your liking, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
7. Assemble your bleu cheeseburgers by placing each patty on a toasted bun and adding your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato, red onion, and pickles.
8. Serve your delicious Bleu Cheeseburgers hot off the grill with some crispy fries or a fresh salad on the side for a complete and satisfying meal that’s sure to please everyone at the table.
