Fantastic juicy burger fresh off the grill! This delicious beef patty topped with blue cheese crumbles, scallions and sauce will quickly become your favorite burger.

I know you must be drooling just from looking at this yumminess.

I was drooling then I was taking pictures and I am not ashamed!

We got to grill last weekend and had a very nice, relaxing Sunday. It may not sound like much to many of you, who life in a house and have a grill on your backyard and can grill pretty much any time you want, but it’s a big deal for us. I’ve mentioned that we live in an apartment (top floor), with no way of having a grill. Our balcony is even wood so can’t even have one of those little, portable grills.

Now, we actually do have a grill, a nice, big grill but can’t do anything on it. We keep in in the garage, which is not even attached to the building. I know, it’s a mess! So we have an awesome grill and can’t even use it. That’s why it feels so nice when we get to go to my mom’s house, grill and relax on the porch.

That’s exactly what we did last weekend for my mom’s birthday. I got this “brilliant” idea to grill and immediately called mom. The second I said “grill,” she goes, “Ehhhh…I guesss…really?…I guess.”

Me: “Mom, you don’t have to do anything. We’ll roll it out and cook. Just come out to the porch and eat!”

Her: “Oooh, why didn’t you say so? Yea, do whatever you want!”

See, to her grilling is a hassle but to us it’s fun! I get to make recipes that I can never make at home and for hubs…well it’s a man and a grill, what do you think?

 

Bacon Burger on bun with blue cheese on top with green onions on top in a bun with regular chips around it

Ingredients:
(Makes 2 burgers)

Burger:
1/2 lb ground beef
1/2 lb ground pork
¼ cup finely diced medium yellow onion
2 garlic cloves, grated or pressed
2 Tbsp minced parsley
Salt, fresh cracked pepper

Toppings:
1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1/3 cup diced scallions
Burger buns
6 slices of crispy bacon

(Lettuce and tomato are optional, I do not recommend other raw onion because it will take over the taste)
 
Directions:
1. Combine ingredients for the burger in a medium mixing bowl and mix very well, until all ingredients are incorporated throughout.
2. If grilling, you will need to judge cook time according to the placement of burger patties and how close they are to the coals. Remember to spray patties with cooking spray so they don’t stick.
3. If cooking in a pan, preheat skillet over medium heat and add a little bit of vegetable oil. Form two burger patties and cook on both sides util burgers reach desired temperature.
4. When burger patties are almost done, add blue cheese crumbles to the top (after you already flipped the patties), so it starts melting.
Add 1/2 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce to each patty, on top, and place burgers on buns. Add bacon slices to the bottom buns first.
**Notes: Demi glace would be great with this burger too, instead of Worcestershire. You can find recipe [url:1]here[/url] if desired.
To add a little more moisture to the burger as a whole, use lettuce and tomato. If you really want to use sauce, I’d recommend either little bit of blue cheese or ranch dressing.**

    I don’t know the last time I had a hamburger — never ordered one out at a restaurant but this certainly would be worth making on the grill. Your burger looks wonderful and your photos are spectacular — who ate the finisher burger? 🙂 I would volunteer for quality control any day of the week.

    1. I get burger craving every month or so 🙂 Sometimes, you just need one. We definitely ate these burgers, every bit!
      Thank you so much, Marisa!

    You know, I’ve been craving a blue cheese and bacon burger for awhile now and I went and made a blue cheese and bacon topped salad in stead thinking that might curb the craving. Well it was working until I saw this!
