Recipe: Blue Cheese Burgers

These were off the hook just off the grill, and were excellent next day for lunch. We used Roquefort cheese, and of course Mr. Big Food ground a choice cut of beef minutes before assembling the ingredients. Truth be told, we just used onion buns slathered with mayonnaise but that French bread angle sounds great. Served with Buffet Potato Salad.

Nothing screams, "SPRING" louder than a burger!

 Recipe below.

  
BLUE CHEESE BURGERS
Makes 10 burgers

2 lbs ground beef
1/3 C onion, chopped
1/3 C blue cheese, crumbled
2 tsp salt
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 loaf French bread (preferably homemade—see recipes in Yeast Breads section)
1 stick butter, softened
¼ C prepared mustard (preferably homemade—see recipes in Basics section)

Combine ground beef, onion, blue cheese, salt, and Worcestershire sauce, and shape mixture into 10 patties slightly larger in diameter than French loaf. Cut French loaf into 20, ½ inch slices. Blend butter and mustard, and spread generously on one side of each bread slice. Reassemble loaf, buttered sides together, wrap in heavy oil, and place on grill over medium coals for 15 minutes. Grill burgers to desired degree of doneness and serve each between 2 bread slices.
