Black And Blue Burgers Recipes

BLACK AND BLUE BURGERS

Steps:

• Pre-heat your grill.
• Combine the ground beef and blue cheese crumbles and mix them together until well combined. Form into 4 equal-sized patties. Sprinkle 3/4 teaspoon blackened seasoning over all sides of each patty until coated and rub lightly into the surface of the burger to form an outer crust. Place the patties on the grill and cook to your desired doneness, flipping when needed.
• Combine the cole slaw mix and blue cheese dressing in a bowl and stir until well coated. Place a lettuce leaf onto the bottom half of the bun and place a cooked burger on top. Put ¼ cup of cole slaw onto each burger and top with the other half of the bun.

BLACK AND BLUE BURGERS

Steps:

• You will need 1/2 pound blue cheese total (get the block type cheese, not the crumbled stuff in packages).
• Prepare your dressing by crumbling 3 ounces of cheese and mixing it thoroughly with the other dressing ingredients and setting aside to chill (do not do this more than a few hours before).
• Mix together your spice mix in a large shallow bowl or plate and set aside until needed.
• Mix together chuck and round, then separate mixture into 1/3 pound pieces (just over 5 ounces)- you should have 6.
• Divide each piece in half and form into a thin patty and place onto wax paper on whatever platter you are working with.
• Take the 1/3 pound of blue cheese and cut into 6 divided sections (approximate) and place thin slices onto 6 of the patties you have formed.
• Cover these patties with the remaining 6 patties and form a pinched seal around the edges, making it tight.
• Pick up each patty, and gently reform the burger and pat it back out to thinness, if needed; rest them on waxed paper.
• Take patties one by one and coat in the seasoning mixture, not forgetting to coat the side edges and patting them nicely flat when finished; rest on waxed paper.
• Cook over heated coals or on gas grill until it is cooked through or temperature reads 160F (do not press on patties while grilling).
• Allow patties to rest 10-15 minutes after cooking for cheese to settle.
• Serve on split kaiser rolls (may toast them if you like) with appropriate condiments: lettuce, tomato, sliced red onion, and a little blue cheese dressing (instead of mayo; optional).

BLUE CHEESE BURGER

Steps:

• To prepare the onion marmalade, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium high. Add onions, brown sugar, and salt. Sauté for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until dark golden brown and tender. Add balsamic vinegar and cook 2 additional minutes. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, heat a large oven proof skillet over medium high. Place rack in the upper third of your oven and set oven broiler to high.
• Next, prepare the burger patties by mashing the black beans in a large bowl. Add beaten egg, 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and worcestershire. Mix until incorporated.
• Add beef and stir in gently with a fork, being careful not to compress the meat. Divide the mixture into 6 portions and shape into approximately 3 1/2 inch-wide patties. Brush each side of the patties with remaining mustard.
• Brush the skillet with extra virgin olive oil to prevent sticking. Add the burgers to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the mustard forms a golden crust. Flip, top with blue cheese, then cook for 3 additional minutes, longer if you prefer the burgers more well done.
• During the last moments of cooking, place the skillet under the oven broiler for 30 seconds to finish melting the blue cheese.
• Top blue cheese burgers with a heaping spoonful of onion marmalade and serve immediately on toasted buns.

BLACK AND BLUE CAJUN BURGER

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill.
• Place beef in a bowl and by hand, mix in the salt, paprika, oregano, cumin, pepper, cayenne, chili powder and garlic. Mix just until seasoning is incorporated. Shape beef into 6 patties and place on the hot grill.
• Grill burgers for 3 minutes, flip and grill the second side for an additional 3-5 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees.
• While the burgers are grilling, combine mayo, mustard, lemon juice, and blue cheese; stir. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Place lettuce on the bottoms of 6 hamburger buns. Top lettuce with a hamburger followed by a dollop of remoulade and finishing off with kettle chips.

BLACK AND BLUE STEAK BURGER

Steps:

• Slice steaks in half, then into strips about 1/4-to 1/2-inch-thick. Place in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Freeze until very cold and firm, but not quite frozen, about 30 minutes to 1 hour. Place blue cheese in the freezer as well so it's easier to handle.
• Chop the partially frozen steak with a sharp knife or meat cleaver until it resembles coarsely ground meat. Crumble about 1/2 cup (unpacked) blue cheese on top; use the cleaver to fold and chop it into the meat.
• Lightly dampen your hands with water and roll the mixture into 3 or 4 patties. Flatten onto individual pieces of plastic wrap; seal and refrigerate until ready to cook.
• Unwrap patties and continue pressing them to your desired thinness. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat a dry cast iron pan over medium-high heat until very hot. Sear each patty, without disturbing it, until a crust forms on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until the surface springs back when lightly pressed, about 3 minutes more.
• Spread some mayonnaise over each bottom bun half. Serve patties on the buns, topped with pickled red onions.

BLACK AND BLUE BURGER

Steps:

• For the blackening spice: In a small mixing bowl, combine the pepper, cumin, granulated onion, cayenne, granulated garlic, Italian seasoning, paprika, chili powder and salt. Mix to blend. Store in an airtight container if not using immediately.
• For the garlic butter: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the butter and garlic, and cook until the butter has melted and garlic has become fragrant, 5 to 6 minutes. Mix in the parsley. Reserve to the side in a small bowl.
• For the donkey sauce: In a small mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, roasted garlic, mustard, salt, Worcestershire and pepper. Mix well. Cover and reserve.
• For the black and blue burger: Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
• Divide the ground beef into eight portions; roll each into a loose ball, then flatten into a 4-inch patty. On four of the patties, place 2 ounces of the blue cheese. Cover with a second patty and gently seal the edges to form a stuffed patty about 1 1/2-inches thick.
• Season the stuffed patties on both sides with the blackening spice. Grill, spaced 3 inches apart to prevent flare ups, until a crust has developed on the first side, about 3 minutes. Flip, and cook to develop a crust on the reverse side, 2 minutes. Top each burger with 2 slices of bacon and 1 ounce of the remaining blue cheese. Cover with a piece of foil and cook another 30 seconds to melt the cheese. Remove the burgers to a serving tray to rest.
• Lightly brush the cut sides of the brioche buns with garlic butter, and toast on the grill until crisp and golden, 5 to 10 seconds.
• To assemble: Smear the buns with some donkey sauce. Layer the bottom buns with pickles, onions and a burger. Top with tomatoes and lettuce. Cover with the bun tops and secure with wooden skewers. Serve.
