Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs ground beef (80% lean, 20% fat)
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 cup blue cheese crumbles
• 0.25 cup mayonnaise
• 0.25 cup sour cream
• 4 burger buns
• 4 lettuce leaves
• 8 tomato slices
• 8 red onion slices

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently with your hands until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

Step 3

Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty that’s slightly larger than your burger buns. Use your thumb to press a shallow indent into the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up as it cooks.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together the blue cheese crumbles, mayonnaise, and sour cream to create the blue cheese sauce. Set aside.

Step 5

Place the burger patties on the preheated grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on the first side, then flip and continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes or until they reach your desired level of doneness. For medium doneness, the internal temperature should be 160°F.

Step 6

Toast the burger buns on the grill for about 1 minute, until lightly golden and warm.

Step 7

Assemble the burgers: Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a burger patty. Top the patty with a dollop of the blue cheese sauce, 2 tomato slices, and 2 red onion slices. Finish with the top half of the bun.

Step 8

Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes and enjoy your Blue Ribbon Burgers!
