What You Need to Make Blue Cheese Burgers

Here is everything you’ll need to make this amazing blue cheese burger recipe. Grab some basic ingredients like ground beef, blue cheese, bacon, buns and your favorite fixings. So delicious, you won’t want burgers any other way! You can find the exact measurements below in the recipe card.

• Blue Cheese: The star of the show! Blue cheese dressing and blue cheese crumbles add a distinct, yet delicious tangy flavor.
• Ground Beef: Use 80/20 ground beef to give these burgers maximum flavor!
• Salt and Pepper: To enhance and bring out all of the flavors.
• Buns: You can use regular hamburger buns, brioche buns, ciabatta or whole wheat buns.
• Butter: For toasting the buns and making them deliciously buttery.
• Butter Lettuce: Adds extra texture and freshness.
• Red Onion: I like red onions best on burgers because they are milder and less pungent than white or yellow onions, plus they add a pop of color.
• Tomatoes: Choose meaty large-sized tomatoes for burgers and slice them into rings.
• Bacon: Salty and savory, crispy cooked bacon is so good on almost any burger!

How to Make Blue Cheese Burgers

These blue cheese burgers are super easy to make! Start by mixing the blue cheese topping, then cook the meat and assemble. Follow the simple step-by-step instructions and you’ll have juicy burgers in no time!

1. Make the Blue Cheese Mixture: In a small bowl, mix together the blue cheese dressing and the blue cheese crumbles, don’t break the crumbles down too much. Cover and place in the fridge while you prepare the rest of the burger.
2. Prep: Divide the ground beef into 4 equal balls and shape into patties. Heat a griddle or cast iron skillet up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
3. Cook the Patties: Place two patties on the hot griddle or skillet and season with salt and pepper. You can cook all of the patties at the same time if they all fit on the griddle.
4. Prep the Buns: Cook the burgers 2-3 minutes on each side. Once the patties are cooked, butter and toast the buns on the same skillet.
5. Assemble: Assemble from the bottom up; start with a toasted bun, then lettuce, onion, tomato, bacon, hamburger patty, a generous helping of the blue cheese mixture, and the top bun.

What to Serve With Your Burger

Blue cheese burgers are great on their own or just with a pickle and some chips on the side. However, if you really want to enhance your burger experience, try making some of these easy sides!
