Calgary Blue Cheese Burgers Recipes

BLUE CHEESE HAMBURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large mixing bowl combine the beef, garlic, beaten eggs, and salt and pepper, to taste.
• Divide the meat mixture into 6 round even patties. Press 1-ounce of blue cheese and 1-ounce of the cold butter into the center of the formed patty. Remold the patty so that all the cheese and butter are hidden inside the center. Continue until all the beef patties have been formed. Refrigerate for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Pour the oil into a large skillet over medium-high. When the oil is smoking, add the beef patties and cook on both sides until golden brown. Remove to a sheet pan and roast in the preheated oven until desired doneness is reached, about 6 minutes. Cook's Note: They can be also cooked on a charcoal grill.
• Warm the buns slightly, then put the burgers on the buns and top each with lettuce, tomato and an onion ring. Enjoy. You can, if you wish, use mayonnaise, ketchup or mustard to enhance this dish.

Steps:

• Heat your grill. In a mixing bowl combine steak seasoning and onion and stir in beef, mixing well. Form 8 (4-ounce) patties, and place 2 ounces of blue cheese on top of each of 4 patties, then top with the remaining 4 patties, sealing the edges. Season each side of each patty with salt and pepper. Grill both sides, being careful not to break the burgers. Cook until medium and serve with your favorite rolls.

Steps:

• Carefully mix the meats, bread crumbs, steak sauce, eggs, salt, and pepper with the tines of a fork, but do not mash them. Lightly form hamburger patties and press lightly into shape.
• Prepare a charcoal or a stove-top grill.
• Cook the hamburgers for 4 minutes on 1 side, then turn and cook 3 minutes on the other side for medium-rare. Remove to a plate and cover with aluminum foil. Allow the hamburgers to rest for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, grill the buns, cut side down, for 1 minute, until toasted. Place a hamburger and a slice of blue cheese in each bun, plus arugula and tomato, if desired, and serve hot.

STEAKHOUSE BLUE CHEESE BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Arrange the bacon on a rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle with the brown sugar and cracked pepper. Bake until the bacon is crisp and the sugar is gooey, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove from the oven, keep warm and set aside. Leave the oven on.
• While the bacon bakes, heat a cast-iron griddle over medium heat until hot.
• Spread the mayonnaise on the split sides of the buns and griddle mayo-side down until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside.
• Shape the beef into 4 equal patties. Spread the mustard over each patty and season with salt and pepper.
• Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for 4 to 5 minutes. Add the butter and flip the patties.
• Top the patties with the blue cheese crumbles. Bake until the cheese starts to yield--the blue cheese will not melt--2 to 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, spread the steak sauce on the bottom buns. Top with the patties and bacon. Close the burgers and serve hot.
