Ingredients
Ingredients
Butter
4 tablespoons (cut into small pieces)
Mild hot sauce
1/3 cup (choose a preferred brand like Frank's RedHot)
Blue cheese
1/2 cup (finely crumbled)
Minced garlic
1 tablespoon (adjust based on garlic preference)
Ground beef or buffalo meat
2 lbs (85% lean ground or preferred choice)
Celery seed
1/2 teaspoon (measure)
Onion
1/3 cup (finely chopped)
Hamburger buns
6 (split)
Instructions
1
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, whisk in the hot sauce until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
2
In a separate bowl, mix the crumbled blue cheese and minced garlic together. Adjust garlic according to your preference for flavor intensity.
3
In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the ground beef (or buffalo), celery seed, chopped onion, and 1/4 cup of the hot sauce mixture. Be careful not to overwork the meat. Form the mixture into 12 patties, about 4 1/2 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick.
4
Take 6 patties and place about 2 teaspoons of the blue cheese-garlic mixture in the center of each. Top with the remaining patties and press the edges together to seal.
5
Cover the stuffed patties with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up.
6
Preheat your grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
7
Grill the burgers for 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness. If you prefer well-done beef, leave them on the grill a bit longer. During the last 2 minutes of cooking, brush each burger with the remaining hot sauce mixture to enhance the flavor.
8
While the burgers are grilling, you can toast the hamburger buns on the grill if you like them crunchy.
9
Assemble your burgers using your preferred toppings; I recommend extra buffalo sauce and fresh lettuce for a refreshing crunch!
