Grilled Blue Cheese Burgers























Grilled Blue Cheese Burgers
We found this recipe in the Cooking Light, SEPTEMBER 2007 magazine

Ingredients:
2 (1-ounce) slices country white bread --we used 1/2 cup italian bread crumbs
2 tablespoons fat-free milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 pounds lean ground sirloin
1/2 cup (2 ounces) crumbled blue cheese --we crumbled/shredded our own
Cooking spray
8 hamburger rolls, halved

Directions:
Prepare grill.
Place bread in a food processor; process 30 seconds or until finely ground.

Place breadcrumbs in a large bowl.
Add milk to breadcrumbs; toss with a fork to moisten.
Add salt, pepper, and beef to breadcrumb mixture, stirring just until combined.
Divide meat mixture into 16 equal portions, shaping each into a 3 1/2-inch patty.
--we used 1/4 cup to measure ours out and it made 16 perfect patties
Spoon 1 tablespoon cheese in the center of each of 8 patties;
top each with 1 remaining patty, pinching edges to seal.
Place patties on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 4 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Remove from heat; keep warm.

--we grilled ours on bbq
Lightly coat cut sides of rolls with cooking spray; place cut sides down on grill rack, and grill 30 seconds or until toasted. Serve patties on toasted rolls with desired toppings.
