These stuffed burgers have bacon and blue cheese mixed right in! They’re packed with flavor, moist, and always a hit!<\/em><\/p>\n

As far as my summer goes, I may have peaked too soon with these. Beef. Blue cheese. Bacon. All of it, stuffed into a burger.\u00a0How could things get better?<\/p>\n

I had always been fiercely loyal to the cheese-on-top positioning, and as much as I love blue cheese, I’d often shied away from adding it to my burger for the simple fact that the crumbles don’t melt well, leaving me to tend to an unruly pile of little balls that rolled right off the sides of my patty. A few months ago, in a near-panic over what to top my buffalo turkey burgers<\/a>\u00a0with,\u00a0I concocted a blue cheese sauce to remedy my blue cheese problem. I was either on something or onto something; you decide.<\/p>\n

But now, no need to fuss. Last week, I just tossed the crumbles into the meat and mixed it all up. When the patties cooked on the hot grill, the small bits of cheese within softened and rendered their flavor ever so slightly, becoming themselves pillowy and making the patties a bit moister and much more interesting. To make matters even tastier, I also added bacon\u2014just because\u2014and parsley, for a clean complement to all of the intensity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The result was so cookout-worthy. Completely grease stain on my shirt and I don’t mind all that much-good. If you love blue cheese, love bacon, and, of course, love beef, here’s your new favorite burger.<\/p>\n

*Note: The sauce you see drizzled on the burger in these photos is simply blue cheese dressing (Ken’s Steak House Lite Chunky Blue Cheese<\/a>\u00a0is a favorite) that I pulsed in my blender with a small handful of parsley to spruce it up.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/h3>
  • 1<\/span> pound<\/span> ground beef sirloin<\/span> at least 90% lean<\/span><\/li>
  • 3<\/span> slices<\/span> bacon<\/span> pan-fried and finely crumbled<\/span><\/li>
  • 3<\/span> ounces<\/span> blue cheese<\/span> crumbled (3\/4 cup)<\/span><\/li>
  • 2<\/span> tablespoons<\/span> finely chopped fresh parsley<\/span><\/li>
  • \u00bc<\/span> teaspoon<\/span> salt<\/span><\/li>
  • \u00bd<\/span> teaspoon<\/span> freshly ground black pepper<\/span><\/li>
  • 4<\/span> hamburger buns<\/span><\/li>
  • condiments: ketchup, mustard, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles (optional)<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n

    Instructions<\/h3>
    • In a large bowl, combine the beef, bacon, blue cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well with your hands, then form into four evenly sized patties.<\/div><\/li>
    • Preheat a gas grill to high heat. Put the burgers on the grates, close the lid of the grill, and cook for 5 minutes. Flip the burgers, close the lid, and cook for about 4 more minutes for a medium, pink center, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of one patty registers 160 degrees F.<\/div><\/li>
    • Divide the grilled patties among the hamburger buns and top with your choice of condiments (I recommend the works: ketchup, mustard, lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles).<\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n
