Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 0.5 cup crumbled bleu cheese
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 1 large yellow onion
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 burger buns
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, crumbled bleu cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Do not overmix.
Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and form them into burger patties about 1 inch thick. Use your thumb to make a small indentation in the center of each patty to help it cook evenly.
Peel and thinly slice the onion. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Stir occasionally and cook for 15 minutes until the onions are golden brown and caramelized. Set aside.
Lightly toast the burger buns by brushing them with olive oil and placing them on a hot skillet or grill for 1-2 minutes until golden.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. Set aside.
Heat a grill or heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the surface and place the burger patties on it. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
Assemble the burgers by spreading the mayo-mustard mixture on the bottom bun. Add a lettuce leaf, then the burger patty, followed by a generous portion of caramelized onions. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve the bleu cheese burgers immediately and enjoy!
