Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 0.5 cup blue cheese crumbles
- 1 large yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 pieces brioche buns
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 cup baby arugula
Instructions
Peel the yellow onion and slice it into thin rings.
In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion slices and cook, stirring occasionally, for 12–15 minutes until they are caramelized and golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently with your hands until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about ¾ inch thick. Press a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to help them cook evenly.
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties for 4–5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness. During the last minute of cooking, top each patty with blue cheese crumbles and cover loosely with a lid or aluminum foil to allow the cheese to melt.
While the patties are cooking, toast the brioche buns on the grill or in a toaster until lightly golden.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard together to create a tangy burger sauce.
Assemble the burgers: Spread a generous layer of the mayonnaise-Dijon sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Place a handful of baby arugula on top, followed by the blue cheese-topped patty, caramelized onions, and the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, and enjoy your delicious True Blues Hamburgers!
