Ingredients
Scale:
1 pound ground beef (80/20 for juiciness)
1 teaspoon homemade burger seasoning (see tips for a recipe)
4 burger buns
½ cup crumbled blue cheese
¼ cup sour cream
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh lettuce leaves
Tomato slices
Caramelized onions (optional, but highly recommended)
Additional crumbled blue cheese for garnish
Instructions
Prepare the Blue Cheese Sauce: In a medium bowl, combine crumbled blue cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, and lemon juice. Mix well and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Form the Patties: In a large bowl, combine ground beef and homemade burger seasoning. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties, about ¾ inch thick.
Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). If cooking on a stovetop, heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
Grill the Burgers: Place the patties on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the burgers and cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium doneness. Add blue cheese sauce on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking, allowing it to melt slightly.
Toast the Buns: While the burgers are cooking, place the burger buns cut-side down on the grill for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Assemble the Burgers: Place each patty on a toasted bun. Top with lettuce, tomato, caramelized onions, and additional blue cheese sauce. Serve immediately.
