Description
Blue Cheese Burgers are juicy, flavorful burgers made with a blend of ground beef and pork, stuffed with crumbled blue cheese, topped with mozzarella, and served on slider buns with sautéed mushrooms and onions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 7 oz (200g) ground pork
- 14 oz (400g) ground beef (no more than 15% fat)
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 4 oz (115g) blue cheese, crumbled
- 2 oz (60g) mozzarella cheese, sliced
- 4 burger slider buns
- Mushrooms and onions: 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
- 1/2 cup sliced onion
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine ground pork, ground beef, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to combine.
- Divide meat mixture into 4 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a patty.
- Place crumbled blue cheese in the center of 2 patties, then top with remaining patties and seal edges to encase the cheese.
- Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook patties for 5-7 minutes per side, until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
- During the last 2 minutes of cooking, place a slice of mozzarella on each patty to melt.
- Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a separate skillet over medium heat. Sauté mushrooms and onions until tender and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
- Toast slider buns if desired. Assemble burgers by placing patties on buns and topping with sautéed mushrooms and onions.
- Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
Notes
- Ensure the blue cheese is fully encased to prevent leaking during cooking.
- Use fresh, high-quality cheeses for the best flavor.
- Slider buns can be replaced with regular burger buns if preferred.
- Optionally, add lettuce, tomato, or pickles for extra layers of flavor.
