We love hamburgers all year long,
but they seem to be especially tasty in the summertime
The other night we made burgers stuffed with blue cheese
and they were amazing!
If you’re not a fan of blue cheese,
I have other delicious cheese stuffed burgers
for you at the end of this post
Several hours before stuffing the burgers
make the blue cheese butter
Put softened butter, blue cheese crumbles,
chopped chives and Dijon mustard into a bowl
Mash it all together with the tines of a fork
Put it in the refrigerator to firm up
Make two thin hamburger patties
and put a thick layer of blue cheese on one patty
and then top with the second patty
and pinch edges together to seal
HHjr, the Chef, had taken over at this point
and I didn’t get a picture before he sealed them
The boys don’t like blue cheese so theirs will be topped with Cheddar
Drizzle the burgers with Worcestershire sauce
Grill the burgers until they are done to your liking
Serve on toasted, buttered buns
with additional blue cheese butter on top
The blue cheese butter melted into the burger meat
and they were so good!
Next time I’m going to add bacon pieces to the stuffing 😋
