Black and Blue Burgers ~ Friday Foodie Feature

OmahaSteaks.com, Inc.

Hello friends and Happy Fri-Yay!  

The weekend is here and the weather is great so put away those take-out menus and fire up the grill.

Tonight try making a Black and Blue Burger!

Burgers made with Bleu Cheese I made these during the Labor Day holiday weekend and they were so simple to make.  You can use either Blue or Goat Cheese to jazz up an ordinary burger.

Black and Bleu Burger

There were only a few ingredients I needed to create these delicious burgers.

 

  • Ground Beef or Ground Chicken or Turkey

  • 1 Egg

  • Blue Cheese Crumbles

  • 1 Packet Lipton Recipe Secrets

  • Fresh Sweet Peppers sliced

  • Buns

  • Condiments

Mix the ground beef, egg and packet of Lipton Recipe Secrets in a medium bowl.  I usually wear plastic gloves because I hate having meat under my nails, but make sure to wash your hands after handling raw meat even if using gloves.

Lipton Secret Recipes

Separate meat into 2 equal portions, and use just enough to make the number of patties required.  With your thumb make a dimple in the middle of each patty.  Sprinkled on a few pieces of Blue Cheese Crumbles then top with a slice of pepper.

Burgers filled with Bleu Cheese Use the other half of beef to cover each patty, pinch the sides to ensure cheese crumbles are covered.

Blue Cheese Burgers

Fire up the grill and cook patties for approximately 8 mins on each side or until thoroughly done reaching an internal temperature of at least 160 F.

BTW, I left mine on the grill too long and burned them, hence the title “BLACK and Blue”, so keep an eye on them.

Grilled burgers

While the burgers are cooking, “dress your buns”.  I like mine lightly toasted with raw onions, sliced tomatoes, ketchup and pickles!

My men and I all love cheese so you know this is the only way I make burgers on the grill or on top of the stove!

Red White & Blueberry Dessert


Hello friends, I hope all is well in your world.

Last week I stopped at Shoprite to pick up a few items for dinner and they had a sale on their pudding cakes, all flavors for $1.99.  There were so many choices but I settled on Blueberry.

I made it a little more delicious by grilling it in butter and adding Reddi Wip cream and strawberries.  Hey, if you are going to eat dessert, you might as well make it good!

Red White and Blueberry Dessert

Melt two pats of butter in a pan, add a few slices of cake and let it warm on low heat for 3-5 minutes.

I wanted the grill marks so I used this pan, and am sure it would be just as good on an outdoor grill or in a George Forman Grill.

grill for 3-5 mins

Top with Reddi Wip cream and a few slices of strawberries, but if you want a few more calories, top with ice cream!
