What is a Black and Blue Burger?

Where Does The Black Come From?

To sum up the definition of a blackened burger, we make it black. Obvious, right? This effect is created by covering the burger in seasoning. Once it is cooked, the burger has a much darker appearance than a traditional patty. Hold on to your socks, though, folks… that is not all when it comes to this black and blue burger recipe.

Where Does The Blue Come From?

Blue cheese. This fine, slightly stinky, cheese brings some earthy balance to the mix. Perhaps if this kind of cheese is not your style, you could go a bit lighter and add feta instead of blue cheese. I enjoy, however, the balance that the creamy cheese brings to the blackened, spiciness that covers the burger in this black and blue burger recipe.

Black and Blue Patties

These are not small burgers. We are making quarter pound patties and then putting a little pocket of blue cheese right in the center. There really is no secret to this other than to try and make it seal as nicely as possible. Use your hand to crimp the edges and work to make a nice sealed burger.

Why stop there?

We have spiciness in this recipe and some creamy, earthiness. What else could we do to this burger to bomb your taste buds with flavor. How about some bacon and rosemary garlic? Mmmm. Bacon.
