Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs ground beef (80% lean)
- 4 oz blue cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup buffalo sauce
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp onion powder
- 4 brioche burger buns
- 2 tbsp butter, softened
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 1 tomato, sliced
- 0.5 red onion, thinly sliced
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat.
Step 2
Divide the beef mixture into 8 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a thin patty about 4 inches in diameter.
Step 3
Place about 1 ounce of crumbled blue cheese in the center of 4 patties. Top with the remaining patties and press the edges together to seal tightly, ensuring no cheese is exposed.
Step 4
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates or pan to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Grill the stuffed patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, until they are cooked to your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for fully cooked beef.
Step 6
While the burgers are cooking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Brush the insides of the brioche buns with the melted butter and toast them on the grill until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 7
Once the patties are cooked, remove them from the grill and immediately brush them generously with buffalo sauce on both sides. Let them rest for 2-3 minutes.
Step 8
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a buffalo sauce-coated patty. Top with sliced tomato, red onion, and the other half of the bun.
Step 9
Serve immediately with extra buffalo sauce on the side for dipping, if desired.
