Bleu Cheese Burger Recipe

Ingredients

• 1/4 lb ground bacon
• 3/4 lb ground brisket or lean beef
• olive oil
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 8 large garlic cloves, minced
• 1 c button mushrooms, sliced
• 4 oz Point Reyes original blue cheese
• 4 English muffins

Preparation

1. Roughly mix ground bacon and brisket and, using a scale, break into four 4-oz balls; line a circular lid with plastic wrap and press patties out (you can do this by hand however the patties will not be as uniform).

2. Over low-medium heat, add olive oil to skillet and bring up to temp (check by flicking water into pan - if it sizzles it's ready). Add onions and garlic, stirring occasionally until onions are translucent and garlic is aromatic; add mushrooms and cook for about 20 minutes, until mixture is caramelized.

3. In a separate pan heated to medium, add patties and sear both sides; add bleu cheese to tops and warm until slightly melted.

4. Put English muffins in toaster oven for 5-6 minutes until warm and crispy. Assemble burgers with desired toppings and serve immediately.
