Recipe Variations

  • Buns – We used regular hamburger buns, but you can use different types of buns. Grab some from your local bakery for a different flavor.
  • Seasoning – If you want some extra spice in your hamburger patties, you can add in a teaspoon of red pepper flakes. We love the extra flavor it gives the burgers.

What to Serve with Blue Cheese Burgers

When we make burgers on the grill, I like to prepare my sides on the grill. This helps with clean up and everything gets done about the same time.

  • Grilled Sweet Potatoes Sweet Potatoes are one of our favorite side dishes. This healthy vegetable cooks perfectly on the grill without a lot of work.
  • Grilled French Fries – These are so much better than frying them in oil. Plus we love the smoky, grilled taste that the grill gives. Grilled French Fries is a great side to so many of our favorite recipes.
  • Macaroni SaladAdd a salad of macaroni salad for a complete meal idea.
  • Smoked Potato Salad – This will be a new favorite way to enjoy a classic recipe.

How Long to Grill Burger

Grilling burger patties do not take long as long as your grill has been preheated on medium high heat. Place patties on the grill and grill for about 5 minutes per side over medium heat. You may need to use a meat thermometer to make sure the patties are done and not medium rare.

Cook until the internal temperature of 160 degrees. You may need to cook a minute longer if still pink.

Can I Make Burger on Stove Top?

Yes, this burger can be made in a large skillet on the stove top. We recommend using a cast iron skillet for best results.

How to Store Leftover Burgers

Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days. These juicy burgers are delicious the next day. We do recommend storing the burger patties separately from the toppings.
