What You Need to Make Blue Cheese Burgers
Here is everything you’ll need to make this amazing blue cheese burger recipe. Grab some basic ingredients like ground beef, blue cheese, bacon, buns and your favorite fixings. So delicious, you won’t want burgers any other way! You can find the exact measurements below in the recipe card.
Blue Cheese: The star of the show! Blue cheese dressing and blue cheese crumbles add a distinct, yet delicious tangy flavor. Ground Beef: Use 80/20 ground beef to give these burgers maximum flavor! Salt and Pepper: To enhance and bring out all of the flavors. Buns: You can use regular hamburger buns, brioche buns, ciabatta or whole wheat buns. Butter: For toasting the buns and making them deliciously buttery. Butter Lettuce: Adds extra texture and freshness. Red Onion: I like red onions best on burgers because they are milder and less pungent than white or yellow onions, plus they add a pop of color. Tomatoes: Choose meaty large-sized tomatoes for burgers and slice them into rings. Bacon: Salty and savory, crispy cooked bacon is so good on almost any burger!
How to Make Blue Cheese Burgers
These blue cheese burgers are super easy to make! Start by mixing the blue cheese topping, then cook the meat and assemble. Follow the simple step-by-step instructions and you’ll have juicy burgers in no time!
Use a Different Patty: This recipe works great swapping the regular patty out for a turkey or veggie burger, for a vegetarian option just leave out the bacon and use a veggie burger. Prep the Toppings: I recommend preparing the toppings before cooking the patties, so they are all ready to go as soon as the burgers are cooked. Don’t Press: You might be tempted to press down on the patties while cooking, but this will squeeze out all of the juiciness that is meant to be inside the meat. Let it Rest: Let the hamburger meat rest for 5-10 minutes after cooking to allow the juices to distribute throughout the patty. Check for Doneness: The temperature of ground beef is ready to eat when it reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit. You can check this by using a meat thermometer!
Store the Ingredients Separately: Leftover patties and toppings should be stored in separate airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days. In the Refrigerator: The bleu cheese mixture will keep for 1 week. To Reheat Leftover Burgers: Reheat burgers over the stove on medium heat until warmed through or pop them in the oven for about 10 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit, flipping halfway through the cooking time.
