Recipe: Blue Cheese Burgers

Recipe: Blue Cheese Burgers
What, when, & where: whenever you're grilling, as long as someone else will bring the plain burgers & dogs for the finicky eaters
Assessment: Excellent. I've always wanted to try the Good Dog's trademark blue cheese burgers. I came into possession of a good 2-3 lbs of blue cheese (long story) and I was freaking out about how to use it all. Burgers were the first thing that popped to mind so I called up Aaron and bam, we had an awesome barbeque that night. This was an interesting & kicky contribution to the mix; I thought they were just divine (the next day I bought another pound of meat, made up another batch and threw them in the freezer). While it was recommended to use fatty beef for juicy burgers, I thought there was nothing lacking in the lean turkey. I was told I made the patties too small because they did fall apart on the grill a bit.

1 lb ground meat (turkey was fine; 16-20% ground beef is recommended)
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
2 cloves minced garlic
2 green onions, chopped
1/2 cup (about 2 ounces) crumbled blue cheese
1 egg
1 Tbsp Worchester sauce
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Put ground beef, mustard, garlic, onions, blue cheese, water, and egg into a large bowl. Use your hands to gently mix the ingredients together until just incorporated. Do not over-mix. Shape into patties, about 1/2 inch thick and larger than your bun. Chill until you are ready to cook.

Prepare charcoal or gas grill for cooking over high direct heat. Using tongs and a folded up paper towel dipped in vegetable oil, oil the grill grates. Make sure grill is hot and well oiled before laying down the patties. Season patties with salt and pepper. Place the patties on the clean, well-oiled grill grate. Grill the burgers for about 5 minutes per side. Do not press down on the burgers while cooking.
