Super Juicy Grilled Blue Cheese Burgers with Avocado
The blue cheese and avocado perfectly complement the herbs and seasoning in the juicy beef patty. We've also added a secret ingredient to really bring this burger over the top - sweet Italian pork sausage!
Ingredients
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 2 lb regular ground beef
- 1 lb sweet Italian pork sausage
- 3 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup very finely minced or grated white onion
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 3 Tbsp finely minced fresh rosemary stems removed
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Blue cheese
- Sliced avocado from approximately 4-6 avocados
- 8 buns for serving
- Additional toppings to taste: lettuce, tomato, bacon, your favorite condiments
Instructions
- Clean the grill grates and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Line a baking sheet or tray.
- Add the ground beef, sausage, Worcestershire sauce, onion, garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper to a large bowl. Combine thoroughly. Make sure both types of meat and all seasonings are completely incorporated throughout the mixture.
- Divide the meat mixture into 8 equal parts and shape each into 3/4 inch thick patties.
- Place the patties on the prepared baking sheet and use your thumb to create an indent in the middle to keep them from puffing up while cooking.
- Cook patties on the grill over direct, high heat for 8-10 minutes. Final cooking time will vary.
- When the burgers seem to be about 2-3 minutes away from being done, move them to indirect heat and top with the blue cheese. Close the grill's lid and allow the cheese to melt completely.
- Serve on toasted buns and topped with sliced avocado and your other preferred toppings (bacon, lettuce, tomato, etc.) and condiments.
