Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (80% lean)
- 0.33 cup Blue cheese crumbles
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Brioche burger buns
- 4 slices Thick-cut bacon
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Do not overmix to avoid a tough texture.
Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions. Flatten each portion into a patty, creating a small indent in the center of two patties with your thumb.
Fill the indent in each patty with about 1.5 tablespoons of blue cheese crumbles, then cover with another patty. Seal the edges tightly to encase the blue cheese stuffing.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook the bacon until crispy, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Leave about 1 tablespoon of bacon grease in the skillet.
Slice the onion into thin rings. Add butter and the onion to the skillet, cooking over medium heat until the onions are golden brown and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, blue cheese crumbles, and garlic powder. This will be your blue cheese sauce.
Heat the skillet or grill to medium-high heat. Lightly brush the burger patties with olive oil and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
While the burgers cook, slice the tomato into thick slices and wash the lettuce leaves. Toast the brioche buns in a dry pan or on the grill until lightly golden.
Assemble the burgers: Spread a generous layer of the blue cheese sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Add a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, the cooked burger patty, caramelized onions, and a slice of crispy bacon. Top with the remaining half of the bun.
Serve the burgers immediately with your favorite sides, such as fries or a fresh salad. Enjoy your Hard Chargin' Blue Cheese Stampede Hamburger!
