Blue Creek Burgers Recipes

BIG BLUE BURGERS

Steps:

• Combine first 4 ingredients and divide meat into 4 equal amounts. When forming each patty, nestle a pile of blue cheese crumbles into the center of the meat, and gently form patty around cheese.
• Brush or drizzle burgers with extra-virgin olive oil and grill on indoor electric grill preheated to high for 7 to 8 minutes on each side. On an outdoor grill, cook 6 minutes on each side 6 inches from hot coals or over medium high gas flame with the grill lid closed. For preparation with no additional oil, broil 4 inches from broiler 7 minutes on each side.
• Serve burgers on split rolls with lettuce, tomato, and blue cheese dressing.

BLUE CREEK BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat a griddle to medium. Make 4 equal-size patties from the ground bison meat, taking care not to overwork the patties.
• Season each patty with 1/4 teaspoon of Ted's Special Spice Mixture on each side, and place on griddle. Cover the burgers with a stainless-steel bowl or other heatproof dome-shaped object, and cook for 6 minutes. Turn burgers over, and season the top of each burger again with 1/4 teaspoon of the spice mixture. Cover with the dome, and continue to cook, 4 to 5 minutes for medium.
• Meanwhile, in a small skillet, melt butter over medium heat. When the butter has melted, add the mushrooms and saute about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Place equal amounts blue cheese on each burger and cook until the cheese melts. Butter the cut side of the rolls and place, cut side down, on the griddle. Cook until lightly toasted. Serve each burger on a roll with 3 slices bacon and equal amounts sauteed mushrooms.

BLUE CHEESE BURGERS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, blue cheese, chives, hot pepper sauce, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, salt, and mustard. Cover, and refrigerate for 2 hours.
• Preheat grill for high heat. Gently form the burger mixture into about 12 patties.
• Oil the grill grate. Grill patties 5 minutes per side, or until well done. Serve on rolls.
