Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds ground beef (80/20 blend preferred)
- 0.5 cups blue cheese, crumbled
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 4 burger buns
- 4 leaves lettuce
- 1 tomato, sliced
- 0.25 red onion, sliced
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise (optional)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat.
Divide the beef mixture into 8 equal portions and flatten each portion into a round patty, about 1/4 inch thick.
Place 2 tablespoons of crumbled blue cheese into the center of 4 patties, leaving about 1/2 inch around the edges.
Place the remaining 4 patties on top of the cheese-filled patties. Pinch and seal the edges firmly to ensure the cheese does not leak out during cooking.
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking.
Cook each burger for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for a well-done burger. Avoid pressing the burgers with a spatula to retain juices.
While the burgers cook, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until lightly golden (optional).
Assemble the burgers by spreading mayonnaise on the bottom bun (optional), then layering with lettuce, a cooked burger patty, tomato slice, red onion slice, and the top bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy these rich, flavor-packed stuffed burgers!
