Description
Blue cheese burgers are an elevated, savory treat made with lean ground beef, aromatic chives, and rich blue cheese, delivering a juicy, flavorful bite perfect for grilling.
Ingredients
3 pounds lean ground beef
½ cup minced fresh chives
4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dry mustard
¼ teaspoon hot pepper sauce
12 hamburger buns, split
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, chives, blue cheese, salt, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, mustard, and hot pepper sauce. Stir until everything is well combined.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours to let the flavors meld.
- Preheat an outdoor grill over high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Remove the beef mixture from the refrigerator and form it into 12 equal-sized patties.
- Place the patties on the preheated grill. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 160°F (71°C).
- Serve the patties on split hamburger buns and enjoy!
Notes
- For extra heat, add more hot pepper sauce or top your burger with jalapeños.
- For a low-carb option, skip the buns and serve in large lettuce leaves.
- Grilled veggies like onions, mushrooms, or bell peppers complement the richness of the blue cheese.
