Blue Ribbon Burgers
Description: I stumbled upon this gem of a recipe on the internet and decided to tweak it a bit to match my personal flavor preferences. Let me tell you, these Blue Ribbon Burgers are absolute winners! You can customize them with your favorite condiments; personally, I enjoy adding thinly sliced raw sweet onion, juicy tomato, crisp lettuce, zesty mustard, and a side of crunchy pickles. And oh, don’t forget to pick up some top-notch buns and give one side a nice toasting before assembling your burger masterpiece.

Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 2 | Lean ground beef |
| 2 | Worcestershire sauce |
| 1/2 | Salt |
| 2 | Garlic |
| 1/3 | Pepper |
| 3 | Cream cheese |
| 3 | Blue cheese |
| 8 | Mushrooms |
Instructions:
-
Mix the Meat: In a bowl, combine the lean ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until all the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the meat mixture.
-
Shape Patties: Divide the meat mixture into 12 equal portions and shape them into thin patties, approximately 4 1/2 inches across.
-
Prepare Cheese Mixture: In another bowl, mix the cream cheese and blue cheese until well combined.
-
Assemble Patties: Take 6 of the thin patties and place a dollop of the cheese mixture on top, spreading it evenly and leaving about 1/2 inch from the edges. Press mushroom slices into the cheese mixture.
-
Top with Remaining Patties: Place the remaining 6 thin patties on top of the cheese and mushroom-topped patties. Seal the edges well, ensuring there are no holes or gaps.
-
Cooking Options:
- Frying Method: Heat a frying pan over high heat. Once hot, add the patties and fry one side until well browned. Flip the patties, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover with a lid, and continue cooking for approximately 12 minutes.
- BBQ Method: If using a barbecue grill, cook the patties over direct heat, flipping once, until cooked through, about 10-15 minutes in total.
-
Serve: Once the patties are cooked to perfection, serve them on toasted buns with your preferred condiments and accompaniments. Enjoy your mouthwatering Blue Ribbon Burgers!
