Half lb Gorgonzola Mushroom Gourmet Burgers
Ingedients
2 - 1/4 lb 85/15 Ground Beef patties
1 - Stick butter
Fresh Crumbled Gorgonzola Cheese
Fresh sliced mushrooms
Fresh lettuce
Hamburger buns
Instructions
At least one hour ahead, melt butter in a sauce pan add mushrooms, allow to simmer on low.You can use any good quality 85/15 ground beef as long as you make your patties uniformly identical. They need to be approx. 3 1/2 to 4 inches across and 1/2 inch thick. My choice is the (4 oz.) Omaha Steaks Burgers
Place approx. a "ping pong ball" amount of gorgonzola cheese in the center of the bottom patty, place top patty over cheese, pinch the edges of the patties together, and grill.When it comes to grilling these, I like to heat my grill up to it's maximum temp, which is about 550. Once the grill reaches max temp, place the burgers in the grill with the lid closed for approx. 2-3 mins. Then flip the burgers and turn the burners all the way down to low for approx. 10-12 mins. The grill will still be well over 450, the burgers will sear nicely when you flip them, and the longer time at lower temp will allow the cheese to melt uniformly between the patties.
Top with sautéed mushrooms, and serve without condiments on a bed of lettuce, with your choice of gourmet bun.
