Ingredients
Ingredients
lean ground beef
3 lbs (ground)
salt
1 teaspoon (none)
black pepper
1/2 teaspoon (freshly ground)
cream cheese
2 packages (3 ounces each) (softened)
blue cheese
2 tablespoons (crumbled)
onions
2 tablespoons (minced)
creamed horseradish
2 teaspoons (none)
prepared mustard
2 teaspoons (none)
fresh mushrooms
1/2 lb (sliced)
butter
2 tablespoons (melted)
Instructions
1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly until evenly combined.
2
Divide the beef mixture into 16 equal portions and shape them into thin patties. It's often easier to form 8 evenly portioned balls of meat and then flatten them into patties.
3
In a separate small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, crumbled blue cheese, minced onions, creamed horseradish, and prepared mustard. Use an electric mixer to blend the ingredients until smooth and well incorporated.
4
Take 8 of the beef patties and spoon an even amount of the cheese mixture onto the center of each. Spread the cheese mixture leaving a 1/2 inch border around the edges.
5
Place the remaining 8 patties on top of the cheese-filled patties and gently press the edges together to seal them tightly. Ensure there are no openings to prevent cheese from leaking during grilling.
6
Preheat the grill to medium-hot (between 350°F and 400°F). Grill the stuffed burgers for about 10 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your desired level of doneness. Remove from the grill and keep warm.
7
While the burgers are grilling, heat a skillet over medium heat and add the melted butter. Sauté the sliced mushrooms in the skillet until they are tender and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
8
Serve the grilled blue cheese burgers hot, topped generously with the sautéed mushrooms. Enjoy!
