Description
Discover how a blue cheese burger transforms your meal with bold flavors, creamy texture, and a gourmet touch that elevates your hamburger.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the Patties:
- In a large bowl, mix the ground beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Gently form the mixture into four equal-sized patties without overworking the meat.
- Cook the Patties:
- Grill: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (375-400°F). Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes per side until they reach your desired doneness.
- Pan-Sear: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties for 3-4 minutes per side, flipping once.
- Melt the Blue Cheese:
- In the last 2 minutes of cooking, sprinkle ¼ cup crumbled blue cheese on each patty. Cover the grill or skillet with a lid to allow the cheese to melt.
- Assemble the Burgers:
- Spread mayonnaise and Dijon mustard on the toasted brioche buns.
- Layer the bottom bun with arugula, followed by the blue cheese-topped patty.
- Add crispy bacon and caramelized onions for extra flavor.
- Optionally, add fig jam or grilled mushrooms for a unique twist.
- Serve & Enjoy:
- Place the top bun over the burger and serve hot with crispy fries, sweet potato wedges, or a fresh side salad.
Notes
- For Extra Juiciness: Let the patties rest for 5 minutes before assembling.
- Blue Cheese Choice: For a milder flavor, use Gorgonzola; for a stronger taste, try Roquefort or Danish Blue.
- Bun Selection: Brioche buns add a slight sweetness that complements the tanginess of the blue cheese.
