Recipe by Shannon; "These tasty red, white, and blue burgers will make any Memorial Day, 4th of July, or Labor Day barbeque that much more special! Fire up the grill and cook a batch for your troops!"

Ingredients:
2 pounds ground beef
1 large red bell pepper, diced
2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 (4 ounce) packages crumbled blue cheese

Directions:
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Mix ground beef, red pepper, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl; divide and form into 16 patties. Place 1 ounce blue cheese in the center atop each of 8 of the patties. Top each cheese-topped patty with an unadorned patty, pressing the sides together so the cheese doesn't fall out.

Cook on the preheated grill until the burgers are cooked to your desired degree of doneness, 7 to 10 minutes per side for well done. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the meat should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).


Review by AuntE - Jul. 4, 2013 : "Weighed my burger halves and pressed them into circles and followed the recipe as is. Wonderful melt inside the burger and the taste was not overwhelming. Cooked very quickly as each side is thinner. My camera was not available but I can tell you that slicing Italian bread, also grilled, and adding a big slice of roasted Pepper sure did make a pretty burger. Its a keeper."
