Blues Burgers

Source of Recipe


From "Extreme Barbecue"



List of Ingredients



• ¼ cup butter
  
• ½ pound white button mushrooms
  
• 1 yellow onion, sliced into rings
  
• 2 Tbsp barbecue dry rub (purchased or homemade)
  
• 2 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
  
• 1½ pounds ground beef or chuck
  
• 1 cup purchased barbecue sauce
  
• 4 hamburger buns or onion rolls, toasted
  






Instructions



1. Build a fire in the charcoal grill.
   Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and onion rings and saute until soft. Transfer to a warmed platter and set aside. Mix together the rub and blue cheese in a small bowl.
   
   
2. Form the ground beef into 8 patties. Top four of the patties with equal amounts of the blue-cheese mixture. Top with the remaining four patties and pinch to seal the edges.
   
   
3. Place directly over the hot coals and cook to sear and brown, about 3 minutes per side. Then continue grilling to the desired doneness, 10 to 12 minutes for medium-rare, basting with the barbecue sauce during the last couple of minutes of grilling time. Remove from the heat and top with the mushrooms and onions. Serve on the toasted buns.
