Method
Prepare the Burger Patty
- 1
Mix the Beef
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined; do not overwork the meat.

Shape the Patties
Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 3/4-inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent puffing during cooking.

Grill the Patties
Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patties, and place the crumbled blue cheese on top. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C) for medium doneness.
