Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 ounces blue cheese (crumbled)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 pieces hamburger buns
- 4 leaves lettuce
- 1 large tomato (sliced)
- 0.5 cup red onion (sliced)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (375-400°F).
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Step 3
Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties, approximately ¾ inches thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up while grilling.
Step 4
In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, crumbled blue cheese, and garlic powder. Mix well until evenly blended and set aside.
Step 5
Place the burger patties on the preheated grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on the first side, then flip and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes on the other side for medium doneness. Adjust cooking time according to your preferred level of doneness.
Step 6
Once the burgers are cooked, remove them from the grill and let them rest for 3-5 minutes.
Step 7
While the burgers rest, lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill for about 1 minute until golden and warm.
Step 8
Spread about 1 tablespoon of the blue cheese butter mixture on the top half of each toasted bun.
Step 9
Assemble the burgers by placing a patty on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, and a few slices of red onion. Cover with the top half of the bun, butter side down.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy your Grilled Blue Cheese Butter Burgers!
