Why this recipe works

burger ingredients of blue cheese crumbs in a bowl, kosher salt, garlic powder, bottle of dijon mustard, pepper mill, pack of meat wrapped up

There is nothing wrong with a good ol’ cheeseburger with melted American cheese on top, I could eat those and forever be happy. These blue cheese stuffed burgers use tangy blue cheese crumbles to infuse the burger with melty cheese in every bite. The blue cheese gives these cheeseburgers an extra layer of flavor than traditional American cheese.

Blue cheese burger ingredients

What’s in the blue cheese burger: Ground chuck, blue cheese crumbles, Worcestershire sauce, dijon mustard, garlic powder, and salt/pepper. Lean beef is great, but not for making burgers. You’re going to want that fat content to keep the burger juicy and flavorful, so I recommend ground chuck which has an 80/20% lean-to-fat content.

Making burger patties

Mix all the blue cheese burger ingredients together in a bowl. Do not over work the meat, this can result in them falling apart and becoming tough once cooked. Once combined, divide the meat into four sections and then proceed to form a patty. Make sure your patties are flat when forming or else they will turn into tennis balls and puff up when cooking on the grill. You can gently push your thumb into the middle to help with this.

Grilling

How-to prep your grill: Scrub your grill to get any bits/residue leftover from your last grilled meal. We were gifted a tool called the grill daddy, which uses steam to clean and scrub the grill, we love it. Make sure your grates are oiled prior to cooking, so meat doesn’t stick. You can use a paper towel dipped in some oil and just rub the grates you’ll be using.

Grill time will depend on preference, size, and shape of the burgers. The best way to ensure you’re achieving the correct temperature is with a meat thermometer.

Medium Rare: 130-135 degrees F, about 4 min per side
Medium: 140-145 degrees F, about 5 min per side
Medium Well: 150-155 degrees F, about 6 min per side
Well Done: 160+ degrees F, about 7+ min per side

Burger tip: when grilling, do not press them down with the spatula because this will release all the delicious juices. After you flip the burgers, you can toast your hamburger buns for a minute or two. I am partial to sesame seed buns, they are my favorite!

Remove from the grill and add your favorite toppings! I added my pickled red onions and they complimented the burger so nicely.
