Tips for Bacon and Blue Cheeseburgers
Frozen preformed hamburger patties are convenient, but they are often very thin making medium rare burgers a challenge. And, let's be honest, the burger itself is bland.
These burgers require a bit more effort. A whopping 5 more minutes to mix up the ingredients and shape the patties. Trust me, it is worth your time.
You could go all ground beef, or all pork, but the combination of the two results in better flavor and texture. And using sausage instead of plain ground pork adds even more flavor.
I highly recommend the smear of mayo on the buns before toasting, even for people that don't care for mayonnaise. This is what I use for my grilled cheese sandwiches and the difference between the oil (mayo) and butter makes a difference in a nice evenly toasted bread.

Wow, I love the combination of Italian sausage and beef in these burgers! These are just packed with flavor. Those pesto fries just made the "must-try-soon" list too. Yum, Audrey!!
