EASY BLUE CHEESE BURGERS



Easy Blue Cheese Burgers image

I'm a college student with a limited budget and a limited space for cooking. I make these burgers on a Foreman grill and they're quick and delicious!

Provided by ArchaeologistBarbie

Categories     Meat

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb ground beef (I usually purchase 80-20 or 85-15 since most of the fat cooks out on the Foreman grill)
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 ounces crumbled blue cheese (to go inside burger)
2 ounces crumbled blue cheese (for topping) (optional)
hamburger bun

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix all ingredients except blue cheese. Make sure salt and pepper are distributed evenly throughout the mixture.
  • Divide beef mixture into 4 sections (these will eventually become 4 burgers).
  • Take approximately 2/3rds of a single section, form into a burger shape, and use your thumb to form a deep imprint in the middle.
  • Fill imprint with 1/4 of the blue cheese.
  • Take the remaining 1/3rd of the beef mixture from that section and cover the blue-cheese filled imprint in the burger, flattening around the edges to ensure that the ground beef stays together and the blue cheese does not leak out.
  • Repeat and then grill burgers to desired doneness.
  • Place grilled burger on bun and top with more crumbled blue cheese if desired.
  • Watch out when you bite into the burger - the blue cheese will be hot!
