1
Make the Patty
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, blackening seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
2
Form the Patty
Divide the mixture into two equal portions and form each into a patty, about ¾ inch thick.

3
Heat the Grill or Skillet
Preheat a grill or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.
4
Cook the Patty
Once hot, place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side until a good crust forms. Flip the patties and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium doneness.

5
Cook the Bacon
In a separate skillet, cook the bacon strips over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and let drain on paper towels.

6
Prepare the Buns
Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
7
Add Toppings
On the bottom half of each bun, place a leaf of lettuce and a slice of tomato. Top each with a blackened patty, crispy bacon strips, and a generous amount of bleu cheese.
8
Finish the Burger
Cover with the top half of the bun and press down gently. Serve immediately.
