Hamburger stuffed with Blue Cheese and Hot Sauce

ODE to Hot Wings

1 ½ pounds ground meat (sirloin is best)

1 Tablespoon minced garlic

½ chop finely chopped onion

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon Hot Sauce

1 teaspoon salt

Pepper to taste

6 one inch chunk of blue cheese

6 slices of bacon

Topping you like: Tomato, cucumber, avocado etc.

Simple ingredients

No I don’t use bread crumbs, bread or eggs.  Just go with a nicely spiced meat mixture.

Mix all in a large bowl with you best tool god gave you; your hands! Portion the meat into 6 balls.

Use your thumb and make a nice big dent in the middle of the ball. Place a chuck of Blue Cheese in the dented middle. Smooth the ball around the cheese which should disappear into the burger ball.  Press the ball flat to the thickness you like (they will shrink). 

Place again your thumb slightly in the middle as when it cooks, they will plump up in the middle and shrink in diameter. Pushing the middle down helps keep it a uniform size.

Get a grill or grill pan (or fry pan) very hot.  Add the bacon and as it cooks, the bacon grease will coat the grill.  Remove when done.  Add the burgers and cook on high heat for about 3-4 minutes and turn and cook another 1-2 minutes. (Depends on how done you desired it to be and the thickness of the burgers.

Place on Burger Bun. Top with Roca (ARUGALA) , slice of tomato, and special sauce.

SAUCE:

Equal parts Hot Sauce and Mayonnaise Spread on burger

I just squeeze the mayonnaise and then squeeze the hot sauce on.
No need to mix them up first.

TIPS

·        Replace the surprise middle with any cheese or surprise such as a cherry tomato
\·        No need for fillers such as bread and egg as I think a  burger becomes like a meat loaf texture

·        Freeze any extra burgers before cooking
