Blue Cheese Burgers
In my world, there are 5 seasons; fall, winter, spring, summer and BBQ! As soon as the weather warms up enough to venture outside, we fire up the “barbie” and grill our favorite foods. I love a nice steak on the BBQ as well as a Rotisserie Chicken, Grilled Pork Chops, and so on…
Although I have many dishes I enjoy, my all-time favorite is burgers! So far, I’ve shared several recipes with you including Chipotle Stuffed Bronto Burgers, Smoky Porky Burgers, Mexican Burgers, California Burgers, Hawaiian Teriyaki Burgers, and Italian Burgers with Tomato Slaw. Here’s another one to add to your list… Blue Cheese Burgers!
This one is incredible! If you love this kind of cheese, this is your burger! This recipe has a great combination of ingredients making this one very different from others. I use bacon in this mix and it does give a nice smoky flavor to the burgers. I pre-cooked my bacon before adding it to the ground beef.

I also use chipotle purée for these Blue Cheese Burgers. It enhances the flavor, adding a slight “zip” to them. A few years ago, I posted a kitchen tips & tricks on how to make chipotle purée as well as chipotle mayo so to view it, click here… How to make Chipotle Purée & Chipotle Mayo
Another element that makes these burgers so lovely is the food vessel. I serve them with my Hamburger Buns. This recipe is very easy and the results are simply wonderful! It’s a great recipe to try this season…
Now that summer is officially here, there’s nothing better than grilled food on the barbecue. These Blue Cheese Burgers are definitely delicious and even more so if you like this type of cheese like I do. I enjoy it so much that just before serving, I add some more cheese right on top of the patty… it’s amazing!
Bon Appétit!
