Blue Cheese Burger

Elevate the burger. The base is made with juicy 100% grass fed beef, packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and conjugated linoleic acids. Then you layer in the flavors - the umami blue cheese flavor, tangy spicy dijon mustard, sweet onions, and pungent garlic.

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients

(1lb) Ground Beef
(1 Tbsp) Dijon mustard
(2 cloves) Minced garlic
(2 Tbsp) Minced onions
(1/2 cup crumbled (about 2 oz)) A1/A2 Blue Cheese, 8oz
(1) Egg
(1 Tbsp) Water
(to taste) Salt and pepper

Directions

1 - Mix all ingredients. Use your hands. Do not over mix. It should be just about evenly incorporated.

2 - Shape into patties and chill. The patties should be about 1/2" thick and much larger than the bun. Chill for at least 30 minutes until you're ready to cook.

3 - Heat and prepare your grill. The grill should be hot and clean. It is recommended to oil the grill with vegetable oil, lard, or tallow before cooking to prevent sticking.

4 - Season and grill the burgers. Season with salt and pepper. Grill for about 5 minutes per side. Do not press down on the burgers.

5 - Serve on a bun. Maybe you'd like to give the gluten-free hamburger rolls a try.

Some notes:

*These burgers are so flavorful on their own and don’t need an abundance of toppings. The standard lettuce, tomato, onions, and ketchup is plenty. But… you could go over the top with caramelized onions and bacon, too.

**If you prefer a milder flavor, I recommend subbing with feta or chèvre.

***If you don't want to make your own burgers from scratch, you can simply top a burger with blue cheese.
