Blue Cheese and Garlic Stuffed Burger



















Ok I don't like to brag but this was frickin' awesome. I'm not a fan of blue cheese but with the garlic and the fat from the meat it was sooooooo good! This is a burger where you want a good bun to go with it. I also made a truffle aioli (hmmmm fancy mayo) as a sauce to go with it, very  rich and so many layers of taste. This is a great burger for one of those non- counting calorie days. I will make this as many times as my arteries can take.

Ingredients-

1lb Ground Beef (80-20)
1lb Ground Pork
1/2lb Blue Cheese( Blue cheeses are typically aged in a temperature-controlled environment such as a cave)
2 Tbl Garlic minced
1Tbl Olive Oil

Directions-

1. Saute garlic in oil for 2-3 minutes, let cool and mix with cheese.
2. Mix meat together in a bowl. Make eight equal sized meat balls(if you have a scale 4oz), put meat in between two pieces of parchment paper and press down (with a mixing bowl or cutting board) until 1/2 inch thick.
3. Spoon equal amounts of cheese onto four of the patties, place one of the other four patties over the meat with cheese and pinch edges together to seal.
4. In a large saute pan over medium-high heat place two patties into pan add 1/4 cup of water and cover. Cook for six minutes and flip burgers over add 1/4 cup water and cover for six more minutes.
5. Take burgers out of pan put on buns( truffle aioli 1 cup mayo 1 and 1/2 Tbl truffle oil or to taste and whisk) top with what ever you like… enjoy!
