1
Mix Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with blackened seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
2
Form Patties
Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into burger patties, about 1 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to help them cook evenly.

3
Preheat Grill or Skillet
Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, you may add a little oil to prevent sticking.
4
Cook Patties
Place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes on the other side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
5
Add Bleu Cheese
In the last minute of cooking, sprinkle the bleu cheese crumbles on top of each patty and cover to allow the cheese to melt.

6
Prepare Buns and Toppings
While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half and prepare the lettuce, tomato, and red onion.
7
Build the Burger
Once the patties are cooked, place each patty on the bottom half of a bun. Top with lettuce, tomato, red onion, and the top half of the bun.
