Double-Stuffed Blue Cheese Burgers
The only thing better than a blue cheese burger is a stuffed blue cheese burger.
Servings: 6 cheeseburgers
Calories: 625kcal
Ingredients
- 2 pounds (32 ounces) 80% lean ground beef
- 7 ounces Gorgonzola dolce, divided
- Kosher salt
- Fresh-ground black pepper
- 6 hamburger buns
- Toppings, optional: caramelized onions, ketchup, lettuce, and the like
Instructions
- If you would like to caramelize onions, thinly slice two onions and cook, covered, over medium-low to low heat in two tablespoons of neutral oil until melted and caramel brown, about 45 minutes. TIP: See our French Onion Soup recipe for complete instructions for making true caramelized onions.
- Divide the meat into 6 equal portions, then divide each portion in half again. Flatten the beef portions into thin patties. Take half of the gorgonzola and place about 1 tablespoon of gorgonzola in the center of 6 patties. Make sure the cheese is broken into pieces and fairly flat, not mounded.
- Top the blue cheese patties with another patty. Gently press allover to seal the patties together and flatten into one burger. Season both sides with salt.
- Grill or broil, topping with cheese in the final minute of cooking. To broil: Preheat the broiler and place the rack about 4 inches from the element. Broil the burgers on a greased, foil-lined sheet pan for 2 to 3 minutes per side, turning once. Top with more cheese in the final minute of cooking.
- Put each burger on a bun, top with desired fixin's, and serve.
