Bacon and Blue Cheese Burger
These Bacon and Blue Cheese Burgers start with layers of flavor mixed into the burger and finish with bacon and blue cheese crumbles on top.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds regular ground beef
- 1 pound sweet Italian pork sausage
- 3 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ cup white onion very finely minced or grated
- 4 cloves garlic very finely minced or grated
- 3 tablespoon fresh rosemary stems removed and leaves finely minced
- salt and pepper to taste
- 16 bacon slices, cooked or crumbled cooked bacon
- 4-8 ounce blue cheese crumbles
- 8 hamburger buns
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise, approximately
- Optional: lettuce, tomato, onions, avocado, barbecue sauce, etc. for serving
Instructions
- Clean grill grates and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- Add all burger ingredients to a large bowl and combine thoroughly.
- Divide into 8 equal parts and shape each part into ¾ inch thick patties. Place patties on a lined tray and use your thumb to create an indent in the middle to keep them from puffing up while cooking.
- Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the inside of the buns.
- Cook patties over direct, high heat on your grill for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping once. Final cooking time will depend on desired level of doneness and how thick you make each patty.
- Place the buns on the grill and toast for a few minutes until lightly brown.
- Place burgers on the buns, top with bacon and blue cheese immediately off the grill. Let dinners add other toppings as desired.
