Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef or Tony Little ground Bison
1 cup blue cheese crumbles
Buffalo wing sauce (optional)
Red Spanish onions, cut thick - DO NOT SEPARATE RINGS
1 cup mayonnaise
3-4 cloves finely chopped garlic
Paprika to taste
1/2 cup butter
Pepper flakes to taste
Salt and pepper
Buns
4 ears corn on the cob, boiled 10 minutes
Preparation:
BurgersSeparate 1lb ground beef into 8 equal sized balls, 2 oz each. Using the palm of your hand, press balls into very thin patties.
MayonaiseCombine 1 cup of mayo with very finely chopped garlic cloves. **For added flavor, you may roast the cloves in the oven with a little drizzled olive oil at 400 degrees for 12 minutes**
Firecracker butterMelt butter and stir in pepper flakes....1-2 tsp should do the trick.
Directions:
- Sprinkle blue cheese crumbles evenly over 4 of the patties. ** If you want a bit of a kick, lightly drizzle buffalo wing sauce over
the crumbles **
- Place the other four patties over top and lightly press down making sure the edges come together and seal making
4 stuffed patties.
- All of the food will grill in the same amount of time, so place Burgers, thickly sliced onions and corn on a high temp grill. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Flip the burgers and onions after 3 minutes. Turn the corn every minute slightly to ensure even grilling.
- Place the burgers on toasted buns brushed with the garlic mayonaise, and top with onions. Brush the corn with the pepperflake butter and lightly sprinkle with paprika. ENJOY!
