BLUE CHEESE BURGERS

Steps:

• Shape into patties and chill: Shape into patties, about 1/2 inch thick and larger than your bun. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes or until you are ready to cook.
• Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for cooking over high direct heat: Using tongs and a folded up paper towel dipped in vegetable oil, oil the grill grates. Make sure grill is hot and well oiled before laying down the patties.

Steps:

• Season the beef with the cayenne, garlic powder and oregano in a medium bowl. Form the beef mixture into 4 patties. Divide each patty, through the center, into 2, and flatten. Place the blue cheese on 1 patty and top with the other patty. Pinch the edges to seal. Grill burgers in a cast-iron pan or on a grill over medium-high heat to desired degree of doneness. Serve on the hamburger buns.

BIFF'S BLEU CHEESE BURGER

Steps:

• 1. Cook Hamburger in very hot fry pan or on outside grill. I sear mine both sides and then turn heat down, so burgers remain moist. Salt and pepper slightly. I like mine just past pink, cooked through but not over done. If you like char put 1/4 teaspoon of Kitchen Bouquet on burger 2/3 way through cooking, turn a couple of times and move around to coat burger. It provides a great char due to sugar content. An alternative is sprinkle 1/8 teaspoon sugar, just a tad, on burger, flip to both sides. You won't taste the sugar.
• 2. Lightly toast bread. I use 1 slice cut in half, so the burger fills the slice, and you don't have an overly amount of bread.
• 3. When Burger is cooked place on 1/2 slice of bread, top with bleu cheese and place in microwave for 30 to 40 seconds to melt cheese.
• 4. Option: You could put Bleu Cheese on before removing burger from pan and allow to heat. The microwave speeds the process.
• 5. Compliment with Fries, Chips, Potato Salad or your choice. Enjoy.
• 6. Note: Many people like Bleu Cheese with their steaks. I prefer a little Butter and Lemon at times, or leave the steak bare.
• 7. Note: The lightly toasted dark bread makes this sandwich. A Hamburger Bun is a No No. Plain Rye would work.
