Black & Blue Burger Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Patties

   In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until combined, taking care not to overwork the meat. Form the mixture into two equal-sized patties.

2. 2

   Cook the Patties

   Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil. Once hot, place the patties on the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and cook for another 3-4 minutes, adding the blue cheese crumbles on top in the last minute of cooking to let it melt.

3. 3

   Toast the Buns

   While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half and lightly toast them on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

4. 4

   Assemble the Burger

   On the bottom half of each toasted bun, layer the lettuce, cooked patty with melted blue cheese, tomato slices, and red onion slices. Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
