Recipes | Blue Cheese Stuffed Bacon Burgers

In my posts, I usually start off by telling you how healthy my recipes is... not the case here.  Sorry : )  The best advice I can give you for this one is portion control!  

I based this recipe off of Blanc Burger's Inside Out Burger - Blue Cheese stuffed ground beef topped with Bacon.  

1 pound of ground beef 

8 ounces of blue cheese crumbles***

Salt & Pepper

Whole Wheat Buns

Heirloom Tomato

Bacon, cooked

Mayonaisse 

Dijon Mustard

Ketchup

Horseradish (optional) 

To make the patties (4), divide the beef into 8 flat patties.  Top 4 of the patties with 1/4 of the blue cheese - be sure to keep the blue cheese concentrated in the center of the beef so it doesn't show on the edges.   Top the blue cheese topped patties with the remaining 4 patties and press the edges to seal the two together.  Salt & pepper generously.  Grill on a hot grill for 4 minutes on each side.  

Lower heat on the grill.  Butter the buns, and place on the grill for about 2 minutes.  To make the special mayo, mix together equal parts of mayo, ketchup and dijon.  Add salt, pepper & sugar to taste.  I also added a little prepared horseradish for an extra kick.

Spread the top bun with special mayo, top the burger with bacon and a slice of tomato.
