Blues BurgersPosted: Monday, October 22nd, 2007
If you like blue cheese, you'll love the flavorful surprise inside these moist hamburgers. They're so filling that just a serving of tangy coleslaw on the side makes for a hearty meal. Recipe yield: 4 servings INGREDIENTS • 1/2 pound sliced fresh mushrooms • 2 tablespoons butter • 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin • 1/2 teaspoon paprika • 1/4 teaspoon salt • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder • 1/4 teaspoon pepper • 1 pinch cayenne pepper • 2 ounces crumbled blue cheese • 2/3 cup barbecue sauce • 4 onion rolls or hamburger buns DIRECTIONS 1. In a skillet, saute mushrooms in butter for 2-3 minutes or until tender. Set aside and keep warm. 2. In a bowl, combine the beef and seasonings just until mixed. Shape into eight thin patties. Sprinkle half of the patties with blue cheese; tip with remaining patties and press edges firmly to seal. 3. Grill, uncovered, over medium-hot heat for 3 minutes on each side. Brush with some of the barbecue sauce. Grill 10-12 minutes longer or until juices run clear, basting and turning occasionally. Drain the mushrooms. Serve burgers on rolls topped with mushrooms. | ||
